Vendela & Layla

We are Vendela and Layla Acevedo and we live in Salisbury Mills, NY. We are four-year-old identical twin girls with Down syndrome. We are the only set of identical twin ambassadors that Nothing Down has ever had! The chance of being identical twins with Down syndrome is one or two in a million. So I guess that makes our parents double lucky. We were actually born as a set of triplets! We have a fraternal brother named Aiden who we absolutely adore. We were born at 26 weeks so we have come a long way. We are in Pre-K and love school. We also love music and books and one of our favorite things to do is dance. We are so excited to be a part of the Nothing Down organization! We are even more grateful to be a part of the 2020 ambassadors. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this amazing organization and we are so excited to be a part of it!

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.
