The Down Syndrome Family Support and
Advocacy Group is a non-profit organization. We are strictly a volunteer
group, which means 100% of the proceeds of sales and donations are used to
improve the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and provide local support
services, such as new parent information packets, grants, scholarships, and
research.
The bracelets featured are made by two
local jewelry designers with input from our Down syndrome support group.

(D, heart, and S) are located in the middle of the bracelet. The

Down
Syndrome Awareness Car Ribbon Magnet
Our unique car ribbon magnet
was designed with three tails to represent the extra 21st
chromosome associated with Down syndrome. The small
pop-out magnet shaped in a heart represents the unconditional
love we have learned from our children with down syndrome.
It also reminds us of the many people with DS who have dealt so
bravely with heart issues. The ribbon is made in the
traditional DS colors of blue and yellow. Our web address
is included on both portions of the magnet for quick reference.
The magnet is approximately 7.5 inches x 4.5 inches.

Local Mom Publishes Book
This
book was written by a mother of a child diagnosed at birth with
Down Syndrome. This story is unique in the way it was written,
since the Mom chose to write it as if her son was telling the
story. This story will take you on an incredible faith-filled
journey as a family enters the world of taking care of a child
with special needs.
As a
member of the Michiana Down Syndrome Family Support and Advocacy
Group (DSFSAG), I wanted something to be able to go back to the
Down Syndrome children of our community.
So I decided that 10% of the proceeds of the sale of this book
will go to the group, to help with funding towards educational
or social activities for the children of our community.
If you are
interested in purchasing this book, you may order it by going to
