Donate Through The Strickland Family’s 3/21 Pledge Page Here!
Hi! I’m Lindsey Strickland. My husband, Daniel, and I live in Seattle, WA, with our four children and many pets. Our son, Benjamin, joined our family through international adoption when he was three years old. We always knew we would grow our family through adoption, but could have never imagined how saying “yes” to a child with an extra chromosome would change our lives for the better.
We absolutely cannot imagine life without our incredibly resilient boy. His joy and perseverance are contagious, and we hands-down agree that Down syndrome has truly made our family one of “the lucky few”!
Encouraging individuals to recognize their value and worth is very near to my heart and I believe empowering our children with Down syndrome to pursue their dreams is exactly what our world needs. Thank you, Ruby’s Rainbow, for enriching our communities by supporting independence and education for adults with Down syndrome!
