COMFORT BOX NOMINATIONS
Filled with toys, books, and comfort items, these boxes are sent to children with Down syndrome who are facing serious medical challenges. If you know a child with Down syndrome who has been hospitalized in the past 3 months or will be hospitalized in the next 3 months because of a medical condition, we would love to provide them with practical distractions and a reminder of how loved they are during such a difficult time!
"We felt overwhelmed with support. I just wanted to thank any and all partners who make these wonderful memories happen. We are so appreciative and grateful for your support and care. We can’t believe how beautiful this community truly is."

One of the characteristics of Down syndrome is Brushfield spots, small white spots in the iris. These spots don't impact a person's vision, and they don't actually have a purpose besides looking beautiful! While not every personal with Down syndrome will have Brushfield spots, they are much more common in people with Down syndrome. They are whimsical and enchanting, so we wanted to celebrate our favorite characteristics of Down syndrome by using Brushfield in our name!
