Hope 2

Being Hope’s father is more enjoyable than words can describe. The Down syndrome community at GiGi’s is so supportive. They have offered us a place to go for advice, friendship, and most of all a family. Some of my best memories are the first time that my wife and I stopped by GiGi’s after finding out that we were going to have a daughter with Down syndrome and meeting Diane and also the first Gala. The Gala is just one of the everts that we look forward to yearly.

-Eric, Hope’s Dad
