We know speak 3 languages and bc his job as a coordinator of services for HOH we are very aware of the need for advocacy and awareness. Great job!!!! Your child is truly blessed.

annsc
I only saw u on SU that one time I looked? So like a couple hrs?? But I know they're changing it up... I got that email too! I'd also love to host again!

Hopefully it'll result it more sales for everyone! It's been pretty slow!

@kparedes I love this idea. My mother cmye does this too. I'm a teacher myself and I know how important field trips are. What a wonderful gift you're giving.
kparedes
@ckayej hi! OMG yes! When I learned that the preschoolers don't go to any field. Trips bec of lack of funding, I felt that this was the best way to give back esp to these kids who has hearing loss. I know they'll benefit more on this kind of activity😊
ckayej
@kparedes it's amazing what they learn outside the school building! I teach in NYC and many of my students haven't left their own borough. We take them to places close by and they have never experienced them. It is truly eye opening. You have given me something to think about. I have wanted to so something more with the money I get from selling and I am going to think of some way to give back. You're ideas are a great inspiration. Have fun hosting tonight. You have great cohosts and I'm sure you'll all have great picks.
kparedes
@ckayej thank you for your kind words! I'm glad I'm inspiring ppl! I think this is a great app and a way to be on a social community! I'm a stay at home Mom, and we are so limited in our budget, every little $ help. I've always wanted to give back and donate, this actually helped me do that and share what I have! It's a pleasure meeting you! I'll see u around☺
mauishopgirl
You are a beautiful lady inside and out. What a great idea. I hope other moms give you items to sell too! I love your closet, I think we're probably pretty close in size and height? I'm 5'1", 30 jeans, 10 dress and a 5.5/6 shoe? Lots of likes for me!
kparedes
@mauishopgirl hi Tonia! It's nice meeting you! Thank you for your kind words! Yes, a few of my friends would donate one or two of their items for me to sell. Love what I do for those kids! Yes, we almost have the same shoe and clothing size. Funny...... I'll see you around!😊

This is amazing and fabulous!!!!❤❤❤
kparedes
@katjo thank you Kathy! The deaf and hard hearing community is very close to me bec my son Brysen is profoundly deaf. We are lucky that he got his right side implanted with a cochlear implant. As his Mom we tried our best to be a good advocate for him.❤
katjo
You're welcome. My husband has only 10% hearing in one ear and 30% in the other. He wears hearing aids in both ears. Even with the hearing aids he has to look at you and read lips.
I just think it's fabulous your donating to the school and I'm certain you are the best Mom advocate ever!!
I liked you before I read that you're donating and now I still like you..LOL😜
You have a good❤.
kparedes
Thank you Kathy! ❤💙💜💚💛

@mermaidsongs hi Ashely! It was wonderful to meet you! Thank you so much for your kind words! I think you've chosen a special career yourself!

That is awesome! My mom taught children with hearing impairments for 39 years! As a special ed teacher myself, I am happy to see a parent being so generous to her children's program! Way to go ma! 😃👍

@grrlonthacouch Hi Rebecca! It's a pleasure to meet u! I love what I do for those children! They're such great kids to be around! Bec I'm a stay at home Mom and I found that Poshmark is a tool for me to make some money, I felt that it was better to share and give back to the community. I greatly enjoy what I do here and so it was a win win situation for me! Thank u for stopping by! I have a deep respect for teacher like you and your Mom! 💜💛💚

I went to Birney Elementary!!!! You are amazing be such a positive, inspiring person for your kids. Good luck with selling everything your closet! ❤️❤️❤️
kparedes
@withlovejen Hi jen! It's nice to meet u! It's a great school especially they catered to the deaf community. I love what I do tho those kids and will continue to support them.
jenwoonani
That's what I loved about Birney. That reason right there. I had many friends that were born with loss of hearing that I communicated with just fine because of all the sign language they taught us there. I still remember the Birney song and motto they instilled on us with the sign language to go along with if! Birney is so lucky to have a parent so dedicated as you. 😘👍❤️🌟😊
kparedes
@withlovejen that's great Jen! So are you still living here in Wa?
jenwoonani
I am!!! I actually moved back to Tacoma recently from Lakewood. My best friend and my husband's family literally right in front of Birney! I grew up in this location & love it. I went to Birney & then to Baker right next door. 😊😊😊
kparedes
@withlovejen wow. What a small world💜. I hope you won't mind tagging you on this one post. We are setting up some Seattle meetup (unofficial). And let you introduce with some amazing Seattle posh ladies!

Awww!! You're so wonderful to include me!!!!! Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

kriskris68
Where is this school located? I'm from Seattle and ready to return (after my kidney transplant). I have a visually impaired son, he's 16 now, but he struggled with reg. ed kids throughout his educational journey. I homeschool him now. I think it's great you have the opportunity to do all that you are doing. Keep up the amazing work.
kparedes
@kriskris68 hi Kristi! First of all wish u to have fast recovery on your surgery. My son goes to Birney Elementary in Tacoma. We live in Kent and it's about 50 mins away from our house. It's a great school and they have the best teachers for his spoken and listening class. My son is in preschool now, but hoping he catch up with speech so he can transfer back to his home school here in Kent.
kriskris68
That's awesome! It's so important to be involved and have a good relationship with your children's educators. As I said, my son was born at 24 weeks and is visually impaired. When he was 3 and did his first year of head start, I was at the school as much as possible (but I worked full time and had an older daughter). He was so delayed in every area I thought possible but when they put him in a classroom with hearing impaired children, I freaked...I mean what the heck...I thought they were crazy!!! You know what??? That was the most brilliant decision anyone could have ever made. My son went from what I taught him myself at home, to a serious chatterbox. He's 16 and is still running his damn mouth. I know when you're lacking in one sense, others are heightened and his hearing of all things is impeccable! I mean he listens to music and teaches himself how to play it on the keyboard just by listening to the notes. These kids with disabilities are amazing and now I know why they get teased! So many so-called "normal" kids are either not raised properly, or are jealous! Trying to spread awareness about anything is rough. I'm trying to spread "The Lupus Word!" I get the most ignorant comments that come my way. Sure there are different types of the disease but don't just assume that all I have is a rash, or some hair loss, or something I can get rid if by taking a vitamin. It IS killing me, my kidneys don't work (don't compare it to a kidney stone or compare my permanently scarred lungs to your common cold, etc). Either listen, ask en educated question, or if you're not interested, just don't say anything!!! Do you get those things a lot? I have developed patience so I cope better, but if I feel like crap, it's hard to be patient when I'm already trying to "not show" that I'm even sick. If you have any ideas for my id love to hear. I am a member of an awesome support group. New friends, more education, guest speakers...it's great, but then there are the ones that want a group so that all they do is whine and get sympathy from others. I don't want sympathy, I've got new goals, realistic ones to be accommodated with behind chronically Ill. When I'm down, I need encouragement and lifting, not awwww poor thing! I've got plans, I'm going back to school to obtain an MSW. I'm 45 not 65. That's too long for my life to be at it's peak. I've got to go go go!!!! Again, any suggestions, tips, or friendly honest advice, let me know. Kriskris68@gmail.com (Kristi)
kparedes
@kriskris68 you sure did great with what you did for your son and his education! I can just tell he is a very smart boy! I think you're a very strong voiced person and I wish u the best in your health! I personally don't know anything about Lupus but all I can say is stay positive and prayers to you my friend! I wish your kidney transplant will be a great success!!!! Keep your chin up and always smile. Hugs 💕💙💚💛💜
kriskris68
Thanks! Although you may not know about Lupus, any tips on spreading awareness would be helpful. As you can see, I'm not shy about asking for help lol!!!
