Isla

Isla Grace is 17 months old and joy personified. She is the youngest of three, with big sister and brother, Ainsley (9) and Elias (7), cheering her on every step of the way. Isla has started standing on her own and is starting to take her first steps! She is a fiercely determined, and somewhat strong-willed, toddler. She loves music and dancing, playing ninjas with her brother and having tickle wars with her sister. When her mommy is cooking, she loves to empty the pantry! She loves the church nursery, making friends and is opening hearts wherever she goes.

Isla had a prenatal diagnosis at 13 weeks. Every doctor and care provider we encountered along the way was amazing. We were shown compassion, but also treated as any other expectant parents, as the world of Down Syndrome was opened up to us. We are hopeful that other doctors can learn from the wonderful experience we had, so that other families can prepare for the joyful future that lies ahead for them as they welcome a child with Down Syndrome.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of the Nothing Down organization. After much careful thought and consideration, we have made the difficult decision to bring this chapter to a close.
Since our founding in 2016, we have achieved so much together—making a meaningful impact in the Down syndrome community and connecting with incredible individuals along the way. We are immensely proud of the work we've done and deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such a positive and supportive network.
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to every donor, participant, volunteer, and supporter who helped bring Nothing Down to life. Your contributions have been invaluable, and none of our accomplishments would have been possible without you.
Though our organization is closing, Nothing Down's Facebook page will remain where new and expectant parents can find hope and inspiration from our past projects and awareness content. We are so grateful for all the wonderful years.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything.
