The Problem

there is a lack or complete absence of infomation given to new parents of babies with down syndrome. It is my goal to work with regional hospitals and birth to 3 programs to prepare and distribute "new parent packets" including informative, educational and uplifting information to parents who have a new baby with Down Syndrome. Inclusive of books, DVDs and contact to local support groups. I would also like to create a lending library full of useful books, dvds ad information for these new parents.

Plan of Action

I would use the $500 to purchase books,dvds,folders,and other materials ,to create and assemble new parent packets to be distributed to local hospitals and birthing centers and birth to 3 facilities in the central wisconsin area.
