October is Down syndrome Awareness Month! Today we are celebrating our friend Matt!

Matt

I would like to say the opening of GiGi’s Playhouse was so important to my nephew Mayor Matt. I know my sister wishes, as do the rest of us, that a place like GiGi’s was available when Matt was born ! He is so proud of “his place” and is quick to say it is somewhere he and his friends can go. But what it offers the young ones is so wonderful and gives them extra support and friends!! It is a blessing to all!
