WHAT DOES B.U.D.S DO?
With the money raised by B.U.D.S. we are able to provide “New Parent
Packets” to all families who have children born with Down syndrome
before they even leave the hospital. This is extremely critical
because this is usually a new families very first experience with
the “concept” of Down syndrome. During this time, they are trying to
not only digest being brand new parents, but parents to a child that
is not at all like the one they were anticipating. The child is
still just as precious a gift, just a gift in a different package.
Just as the wind has been completely knocked out of this new set of
parents, we show up with not only the personal knowledge and
experience of, having been right where they are ourselves, but also
a new set of “tools” for them in the form of our “New Parent
Packets”. These packets contain books and other resources that
families can use as a hands on reference immediately. These books
and references contain most up to date information from birth to
adulthood regarding their family member and their specific needs at
every stage. >>More |
