World Down Syndrome Day and Sharing Hope for Everyone with Crystal Anderson

Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)

Hello listeners, this week I have guest Crystal Anderson. She is a mom of 3, one of her sons has Down Syndrome. 

Crystal shares her story from the beginning, when they found out from genetic testing, that their in-utero baby was a son and had down syndrome. She also shares how the news wasn’t as tough because she had worked with the down syndrome community from many years and knew the possibilities for people that had down syndrome. 

Crystal and I both agree that service to others and to our community really can help us process our own traumas and challenges. And it can help us find our best selves in this life as special needs moms.

World Down syndrome day March 21st. : it’s a platform to show the world what they can do and what we can do as families.  Crystal says it doesn’t need to just be about the Down syndrome community but she says it’s a reminder to connect with others and give back. Crystal wants to tell people that they can take world down syndrome day as a day to really reach out to someone if they are struggling or if they are lacking connection.
