Donate & support bringing hope to families like ours

When we received Jackson's Down Syndrome diagnosis, it was one of the hardest moments of our lives. Instead of support, we were met with fear-based language, outdated information, and even encouragement to terminate the pregnancy. No family should ever have their child’s worth questioned from the very beginning. Jax has brought more joy, strength, and purpose to our lives than we ever imagined. We’re participating in this fundraiser to support the programs, resources, and community that help families like ours thrive.

That’s why we’re fundraising for DSDN. They are working every day to change the diagnosis experience — providing accurate information, compassionate support, and a community that celebrates our children for who they are.

Your donation helps ensure that future families hear hope, not fear.
