SUPPORTING FAMILIES

Changing the diagnosis experience—one family at a time.

Through partnerships with medical providers and direct requests from families, Rising Kites provides free resource bags filled with encouragement, education, and trusted resources to families receiving a prenatal or postnatal diagnosis of Down syndrome.

Our hope is that families receive more than information. We want them to know from the very beginning that they are not alone and that there is a community ready to encourage, support, and celebrate them.

OUR MEDICAL FACILITY NETWORK

Reaching families through providers across the country.

Our growing network of medical facility partners helps place Rising Kites resources directly into the hands of families at the time of diagnosis.
