VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Touching moment as Chick-fil-A employee signs to Deaf customer goes viral on social media.
FAYETTEVILLE, NC -- WTVD-TV: A mother and her Deaf daughter were moved so much after a North Carolina Chick-fil-A employee used American Sign Language while taking their order that the mom shared the touching moment on social media.
For the first time in her life, Cynthia Walker, a 20-year-old Deaf woman, was able to order her meal at the restaurant on Raeford Road by signing. Her mom, Terri Buelman, says she was surprised and overjoyed when she realized the cashier knew and used sign language.
Buelman says it was the first time Cynthia was able to order something without feeling uncomfortable with people staring at her.
"People just look at her, then they look at us at what we do, so we had to order for her," explains the mom about previous situations.
Buelman says they heard about a cashier at Chick-fil-A who knew sign language and had helped other Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers with their orders.
When they went there, they found Taylor Anez, a high school senior. After hesitating, Cynthia started signing and was surprised when Anez signed back. It was a monumental step of freedom for the young woman.
The restaurant manager didn't know Anez could sign, but the young cashier says her relatives are Deaf and she learned so she could communicate with them.
Cynthia's story and the video have gone viral. Her family has set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money to get her a hearing service dog. Click here for Cynthia's GoFundMe page for a hearing service dog.

VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Starbucks employee's kind act for Deaf patrons goes viral on social media in the United States.
LEESBURG, VA -- ABC News: A Virginia man's Facebook post is creating some internet buzz after he shared a note from a Starbucks employee who offered a kind gesture.
Ibby Piracha, who is Deaf, told ABC News through an interpreter that he was surprised Friday morning to be greeted by the familiar barista with sign language.
"I usually use my phone and I'll text them what I want to order," Piracha of Leesburg, Virginia, said. "She was saying she looked on YouTube because she had a lot of customers that came in using text. I was very surprised she was willing to learn sign language and it shows she respects Deaf people ... she's an inspiration."
Piracha, 23, said the female barista handed him a note that read, "I've been learning ASL just so you can have the same experience as everyone else."
Piracha posted a picture of the kind words to Facebook, where it received over 2,000 “shares.”
"I was very shocked to go in there one day and have her sign a little bit and I kind of smiled, thinking about it and I even told the Starbucks manager, 'You know, I was very impressed by your employee."
The manager at the Starbucks where Piracha received the note told ABC News that while he could not comment on this particular incident or name the employee, he confirmed Piracha's account.
“We are proud that our store partner employee is taking this initiative to learn American Sign Language to better assist and serve her customers,” a Starbucks spokeswoman told ABC News. “We always love to hear stories of meaningful connections between our partners and customers.”
Piracha said he hopes his Facebook post gets the message across that "the hearing world and the Deaf World are trying to communicate."
"I definitely want people to understand that Deaf customers can have a really great review," he added. Source

VIDEO: [CC] - Lifeguard rescues Deaf dog that got stuck in mud at San Diego beach.
SAN DIEGO (ABC News) - A lifeguard rescued a service dog that became stuck in mud at Dog Beach in Ocean Beach Wednesday.
Just after 5 p.m., a woman told authorities that she was walking the dog which belonged to a quadriplegic veteran when the animal somehow broke free and ran away. The dog, a German wirehaired pointer named Rita, then became stuck in a muddy area of the beach.
"It was up to her neck and it was terrifying," said Joey Riley, the veteran's caregiver. She was signing to the 12-year-old dog, which is Deaf.
"As I stepped, my feet would sink down into the mud so I backed up so that I didn't get into the same situation as she did," said Riley.
It was a situation she was well aware had killed a man a year earlier, who became trapped when the tide washed in. Lucky for Rita, help arrived in the form of a lone rescuer, San Diego Lifeguard Chuck Davey.
"I was able to get the front paws onto the board and then I had to dig down into the organic matter and pull the dog up onto the board," he said. Using a surfboard, he was able to free the dog from the thick mud. Riley made her way to the animal and was able to call it over. No injuries were reported. Source
