Donate Through Mercedes’s 3/21 Pledge Page Here!

Hi, we’re the Lara family — Andy, Mercedes, Sunflower (6), Rhodes (5), Shepard (2) and Brave (the baby)!

Our beautiful Sunflower is our oldest and our only girl. She came to our family by way of adoption, and she is the most beautiful blessing to our lives. Down syndrome is a gift, not a burden, and we love celebrating organizations that really make a difference in the lives of people with Down syndrome. The differently abled community has been a huge part of our life for over 15 years! This community is mighty, and the beautiful opportunity to donate to Ruby’s Rainbow is an honor! So many of their Rockin’ Recipients go on to lead marvelous and inspiring lives. Please join our family in raising money for young adults with Down syndrome who desire to go to college!
