'We are as grateful as we can be'
When Molly was born, her Down syndrome diagnosis was unexpected. But her parents feel fortunate to have found support, care and comfort through the Adult Down Syndrome Center. Today, Molly is independent and active, and her parents are grateful donors to the Center, which has played a critical role in their lives.
