David

Hi I’m David Heller Jr. and I’m 24 years of age and live in Bucks County Pennsylvania. There are so many things that I want to tell you about who I am but most of all I want you to know that even though I have Down syndrome its really only a small part of me, it doesn’t define me or limit me, it enhances me. I am a high school graduate. I graduated from Central Bucks West High school where I was one of the first ever students to be included in general education classes from kindergarten straight through until graduation. I graduated at 18 just like all of my friends who I started kindergarten with. I am an Eagle Scout, in 2014 I earned the rank of Eagle after I worked with the United Way of Bucks County to create disaster relief kits for resident along the flood prone areas of the Neshaminy creek. I am a college graduate, in 2018 I graduated from the College of New Jersey Career and Community Studies Program where I lived in an off campus house with 4 other students who are some of my best friends today. I took college level classes in a variety of things that I was interested in and wanted to learn more about, I did job training on campus in a variety of different departments and in my senior year I had an internship 20 hours a week with Verizon. I am an employee, currently I have two jobs and work 30 hours a week. I work for Regal Cinema at the concession stand taking orders, getting the orders and working the cash register. I love my job a Regal and have worked there for a year now. One of the best perks is that I get to bring a friend and see free movies! I also have a job at Wawa. At Wawa I have been a coffee barista brewing up 10 or more type of coffee for over 5 years now. Wawa is an awesome place to work and I have a lot of customers that come by every weekend just to say hi to me. The Wawa perks are pretty awesome too, I get discounts on any food I want and I love food! I am just like you. I love life, I have great friends and an amazingly supportive family. Don’t set limits on someone because they look different, learn different or need a little extra time to get something done. Support and encourage them to reach for the stars.

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.
