YOU can give an athlete with Down syndrome the equipment needed to experience the camaraderie of being a part of a team, YOU can make sure an adult with cerebral palsy can spend their days engaged at Rec & Roll, instead of at home with nothing to do, because they will have the one-on-one assistance they need in order to attend.

2021 ANNUAL APPEAL GOING ON THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST!
Holding your child in your arms for the very first time, your eyes locking with theirs, one thought hits you…you want to give them the world. All the hopes and dreams you have for them make for a moment you will remember forever.
And then comes the diagnosis.
Whether it comes at birth or a few years later, your world is turned upside down. Those hopes and dreams seem in jeopardy. Will he make friends? Will he play sports? What will his quality of life be? So many questions with so few answers.
What will my child’s life be like?
The uncertainty weighs heavily. Life becomes filled with doctors, therapies, and hearing a lot of what your child will NOT be able to do. But you keep going. You love your child. You advocate for your child. That love and advocacy leads you both down a new path. Hopefully, along the way, you find partners to help.
Finding a place where your child is welcomed on day one is life-changing.
WDSRA is that welcoming place. But we can’t do it without YOU. YOU can be a life-changing partner today. YOU can help families find out what their child WILL be able to do. Every child deserves to experience life on their terms, discover who they are and make life-long friends along the way. YOU can make that possible!
