Gifts From the Heart for Down was founded by Kimberley Adams in January 2010. Motivated by her two adopted children who both have Down Syndrome, Kimberley sought to do all that she possibly could to help make her children's lives and others living with Down Syndrome a little bit better. Initially, Kimberley worked with Dave Girgenti to help form Down Syndrome Heroes, an organization which falls under the Wish Upon a Heroes organizational umbrella. As a volunteer for Down Syndrome Heroes, Kimberley worked to grant 8 wishes – wishes that came from throughout the United States. Each wish was unique and especially meaningful to the person hoping that their wish would come true, including: |
|
| |
 |
Meeting celebrities |
|
Celebrating a special birthday with a catered affair complete with limousine service and "decked out in tails" |
|
Adapted equipment such as bicycles, strollers and a bed |
|
| |
Today, Gift From the Heart for Downs, a newly incorporated organization designed to focus on the needs of children and adults with Down Syndrome, is preparing to make more wishes come true for those with Down Syndrome.
From its humble beginning as one person's dream, to its infancy as a one-woman labor of love, and now with an engaged Board of Directors, Gifts From the Heart for Downs continues to grow. However, Gifts From the Heart for Downs needs your help and every gift makes a difference! |
