$763 towards $750

Just over eight years ago I found out we were having twins, how exciting! That's what I wanted to hear, but that's not what I heard from the doctor. In a world where I was already confused and scared, I didn't understand all that was happening, and the person I looked to for answers did not feel like they were looking at things the same way I was.

Through outreach I was connected with DSDN and my world changed, it was not so scary. I was greeted with a new way to hear of our new diagnosis. I want to share this network with other new parents who just found out they will be having a child with Down syndrome. With your help we can do this.

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.
