As October comes to a close, I want to take a moment to recognize something close to my heart: Down Syndrome Awareness Month. 💙💛
This month has been about celebrating the joy, strength, and unique gifts that individuals with Down Syndrome bring to the world, and that message continues long after October ends.
Brittany Schiavone, founder of Brittany's Baskets of Hope, is one of those individuals who brings joy, strength and hope to the world! Through her nonprofit, Brittany has delivered thousands of baskets to families across the US and Puerto Rico. As part of their mission, they create and deliver baskets to celebrate the arrival of babies with Down Syndrome, filled with information and guidance for parents, along with gifts of love and joy for the babies and their siblings. Brittany’s passion proves that every child’s possibilities are endless.
At Integrative Pediatrics, I believe every child has something special to offer. Let's celebrate every day with "joy that transcends differences, rises above challenges and gently reminds us that the world can be a brighter, more beautiful place when we share it with care." 🫶
