Little Miss TWO Much is back for another year of fun and spreading awareness with Ruby’s Rainbow. Miracle-Grace is now 2 years old, on the move, and excited for her 2nd year apart of the committee. Since joining the RR organization last year, Miracle-Grace has been making noise advocating and representing the Down Syndrome Community. Miracle-Grace became a CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia) Champion representing the Trisomy 21 Program for the 2024 Buddy Walk. Continuing her services, speech has now been included in her routine which has helped with her communication tremendously from signing to talking. Miracle-Grace has started Early Head Start, and as a mother, I’m grateful to have found a program open to her needs, willing to learn, and adapt to her adjustments. Our community has grown big and strong. There has been some low days in the mix but the highs outweigh the difficult days. This year our goal isn’t so much to raise funds (that will happen of course) but more so spread knowledge about RR and connection with HBCU’s for possible partnerships so recipients have an opportunity to attend variety of colleges and universities.

This World Down Syndrome Day is a little extra special, because Miracle-Grace will be dedicated at church. We celebrate her dedication during this time because, there is so much to be thankful for. Her journey is only beginning but God has moved mountains and blessed her beyond measure and he will continue to do so.
