NEED YOUR HELP! |
| Down
syndrome is one of the most common birth defects, affecting
approximately 350,000 people in the United States. Every
year, approximately 5,000 babies are born with Down syndrome,
a condition that has some degree of mental retardation,
characteristic physical features, and often other health
problems that require major surgery. Life expectancy for
a child born with Down syndrome is 55 years. |
| Downi
Creations, Inc.'s mission is to promote the awareness
and understanding of this all-too-common birth defect
with a variety of quality products and services directed
at the affected children and their families, medical professionals,
Special Education teachers, and the public at large. |
Our
goals are ambitious, but the need is so great. We know
we will accomplish them, one loving donation at a time.
Please take time today to make your donation count. Thank
you in advance for caring so much. |

| Hospital
staff are often the first professionals to discuss Down
syndrome with new parents. However, low budgets often
prevent hospitals from ordering our dolls. Thanks to your
donation, doctors and nurses can use our beautiful Down
Syndrome Originalsã dolls to educate apprehensive
parents on the 13 special physical characteristics of
Down syndrome. Instead of looking at an intimidating and
unflattering photograph in a medical textbook, parents
can hold a huggable baby doll in their own arms that celebrates
the special beauty of their own baby. Your donation will
replace fear and ignorance with understanding and joyful
anticipation. Once parents are aware of Down Syndrome
Originals© dolls, they can purchase one for their
child. 3.
Provide free dolls to Special Education classrooms.
Many of the children in Special Education classrooms
across the United States have Down syndrome. Unfortunately,
schools operate on such tight budgets that they often
can't afford to buy a single doll. Your donation helps
provide dolls to these classrooms so that these older
children can have a positive role model during the
day. Downi Creations, Inc. will give
product brochures with ordering information to the
Special Education teachers so that they can give them
to the parents.
4.
Allow us to decide the area of greatest need at the
time of your donation. |
We
appreciate all donations.
There is no such thing as a "small donation"
because every donation comes from a big heart.
$25...$100...$1,000
-- you'll be certain that your donation will go
directly into providing dolls to the area of need
you select.
Downi
Creations, Inc. is proud to tell you that
we have limited overhead and administrative expenses
which means that more of your donation dollars
goes directly to providing free dolls.
