$807 towards $500

Hey Guys! I am so excited to be able to fundraise for the 2017 DSDN Rockin' Moms retreat this year in Chicago! It's so close to home, so why not make the effort to attend (Josh will be away at DI school anyways) . Please consider helping me achieve my goal! This group has been such a blessing to our family. They have been part of our journey since the beginning. I joined their facebook group right after I had Gabriel. They helped us in so many different ways and helped us get in touch with so many people, all across the world. They are constantly helping me be the best advocate amd mother for my son. I am so proud to be Gabriels mom and I want to be as educated as I can to help him in every way possible. He is truly a gift from God! Join me in supporting real change. Let's support good in the world and make a difference.

In many ways, there has never been a better time to have a child with Down syndrome, and yet we still hear of families not being given information or access to support when receiving a diagnosis. Help DSDN bridge this gap by donating today.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network. Plus, if I reach a certain goal, my registration for the 2017 Rockin' Moms Retreat in Chicago will be covered!


Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network

Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network is a non-profit organization that is 100% volunteer base. We are an online-based network that has made it our mission to support new and expectant parents of children with Down syndrome by providing information, connections and support. We currently support almost 3500 families that have a child with Down syndrome, with an emphasis on diagnosis and early childhood.

Your donation goes to:

  1. Helping educate doctors about how to properly deliver a Down syndrome diagnosis
  2. Welcome gifts for new families
  3. Scholarships for our annual Rockin' Retreat and other Ds related conference or educational classes
  4. Sending care packages to families going through hospital stays or other tough times
  5. Memorial gifts for families who have sadly lost a child with Down syndrome
  6. Supporting the annual Rockin' Mom Retreat that allows moms of children with Down syndrome around the country to connect, recharge, and inspire.

You can also mail your donations (and help us save on payment processing fees) to:
