$2,096 towards $5,000

My journey with Down syndrome was unexpected and unplanned. I was handed Landon as a newborn with minimal information regarding his diagnosis and what to expect. As I sought out other new parents of children with Down syndrome, I became connected with Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network (DSDN). Little did I know what a life changing connection this would be! I joined a Birth Group of other new moms that started out as a resource group and have since become family. (We literally talk every day!) We've laughed together and cried together. We've celebrated successes and mourned losses. We've grown to love each other's children as our own. DSDN's Mission has become a personal passion - connect, inform, and support. I am launching a fundraising campaign for DSDN so that they can continue to grow and positively impact new and expectant families.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal of raising $5,000 for Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network (DSDN).

DSDN mission is to connect, inform and support new families at the time of diagnosis and to impact the diagnosis conversation so that every family receives accurate, up to date information along with the diagnosis.

DSDN offers families:

  • Private, moderated Birth club groups for families from Pregnancy through age 3
  • Topical Subgroups for families to more deeply connect around content that matters most to them (cancer diagnosis, IEPs, single parenting, loss, Spanish speaking, etc)
  • Materials to provide to medical professional, local organizations and new families http://www.dsdiagnosisnetwork.org/local-support
  • Rockin' Family Fund programming to support families with:
    • Welcome gifts
    • Care gift cards
    • Memorial gifts
    • Scholarships for Ds related events
  • Our annual DSDN Rockin' Mom Retreat to connect, inspire and recharge moms within our network

As of 2017, DSDN has a board of 8, more than 100 volunteers, over 20 birth club groups, 25+ subgroups and have reached to over 4000 members worldwide!
