Farmington Hills, MI NONPROFIT CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF HELPING HEARING-IMPAIRED SENIORS Troy resident Monalee Ferrero-Kupik grew up in an almost completely silent home — living with her grandparents who were deaf until she was 12 years old. Even though Kupik could hear, sign language was her first language. She learned how to speak English from the neighborhood children. Even as a young child, Kupik acted as an interpreter for her grandparents. “I remember one time, my grandfather sideswiped another car. I was about 8 years old, and I had to get out of the car and be the interpreter. It was scary,” Kupik said. / The Oakland Press
