Each day until World Down Syndrome Day on March 21, we are highlighting a wonderful member of our community (21 Days of Ability). This year's theme is "I have Down syndrome and I belong." Today we'd like you to meet Mathew!

"We are honored to submit Mathew’s photo to the Down Syndrome Network. Mathew belongs everywhere — in his family, where he is deeply loved and cherished; in his school, where he teaches others about kindness, strength, and perseverance; and in our community, where his smile and determination inspire everyone around him. After everything he has overcome, including serious health challenges, he continues to show us what courage and joy truly look like. Mathew belongs in every space where love, inclusion, and acceptance live — because he makes each of those places better just by being himself."

Will you invest in the lives of Mathew and others with Down syndrome? Join our 21 Days of Giving campaign to advance our mission. Donations of as little as $10/month help us sustain our year round programming and advocacy efforts. Help us reach our goal of having 21 monthly supporters by World Down Syndrome Day (March 21)!
