$21 for 21 Dreams | Down Syndrome Awareness Month

When I received a call last year from the Executive Director of the IDSC, I simply thought I was signing up to volunteer to work their photo campaign.

What originally began as photo editing turned into something more. MUCH more.

I have found a new family in the IDSC and a strong sisterhood with some of the board members.

I found the organization I was so desperately searching for when we began the journey into parenting a child with Down syndrome. The organization that welcomed us with open arms and didn’t judge or feel clique-ish. An organization that I am proud to stand behind.

Now, it’s time for us to help them and I need your help!

The IDSC recently introduced the Grow With Us Campaign.

The Grow With Us Campaign has a goal to create 21 dreams for families and individuals with Down Syndrome.
