"Remember, only through inclusion
can we find the true meaning of humanity."
|
I am very proud to be the person representing people with Down Syndrome for Awareness Ties, for a long time there has been so many stigmas attached to disabilities and so much incorrect information being available around the world. I am here to show people that just because I have down syndrome does not mean I am not successful, worthy and most of all capable of giving back to the community. Everyone on this planet needs to feel wanted and to be included. So, with your help let’s raise funds to help change the lives of so many beautiful, capable people. Remember, only through total inclusion can we find the true meaning of humanity. - Madeline Stuart
