Celebrate the Gift of Down Syndrome
Today. Tomorrow. And for Years to Come.
This March, we hope to raise $121,000 to strengthen our programs, expand our reach, and support families for years to come. Your gift helps ensure Rising Kites continues to be a place where families feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated from the very beginning.
Lucy’s Story
“You just kind of assume when you get pregnant that ‘I’m going to have a healthy baby and this is what the rest of my life is going to look like...’ When that concept starts to crumble a little bit that Rising Kites bag started to put the pieces back together.”
Ellie, Lucy’s mom

Ella’s Story
“She’s been to other job shadows and she did a lot of watching but not a lot of doing…being here and building those skills— as a mom—it means everything to me to know that they’re giving her a chance to be successful.”
Bonnie, Ella’s mom
