Your Support Changes Lives
"Individuals with Down syndrome have the exact wants, needs, hopes, and dreams as everyone else. At GiGi’s Playhouse, Down syndrome does not define an individual. The playhouse has allowed our son, Jordon, to explore his potential as he prepares to leave high school and enter the adult world. "
- Diane Meyer, mom of Jordon
