Jonathan has been deaf since an illness in infancy. When we met on the streets of Spokane, he wrote out this message: “The doctor offer my parents there’s a med that will kill my ears or blind. Choice. My parents chose me to be deaf due to meds. Originally was born hearing…I lost a partner a year ago from hit by truck in Colorado on June 29,2015 and really tough on me and I am kinda still angry at God. I have 3 teen son and 1 baby on way. Thanks for coffee.”
