Amy & Cole Hardeman's Fundraiser
Help us change the world!
Join me and help make a difference!
Eight years ago I cried myself to sleep in my hospital room after Cole's birth diagnosis. I had never felt so alone in my life.
Less than two months later I found DSDN... and have never been alone since! They provide an incredible community of support that sustained us when Cole was an infant and still encourages and fills our cup all these years later.
Why do I raise funds for DSDN every year? I want to make sure that every new parent receives the same support and care that I did!
Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network.
DSDN is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit operated by two paid staff members and over 150 volunteers and funded by generous donations from supporters like you.
Check out our most recent Annual Report for more specifics on how we allocate funds.
