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

Nao lives with her family in Toronto, Canada and is a proud mama of two girls, Maya and Emalee.

Emalee surprised everyone when she was born in 2015 with an extra chromosome. Since then, she has been exceeding expectations, breaking stereotypes, and changing perceptions with a lot of smiles and sass.

Families and organizations found through social media has brought so much joy and hope to the family since joining the Down syndrome community, and seeing the recipients of the Ruby’s Rainbow scholarships succeed in their education and careers has been so exciting as it provides a glimpse into Emalee’s possible future as well.

You can follow Emalee and her daily smiles and sass on Instagram (@rightnao).
