My Nonprofit Reviews

My brother and sister in law have a son, baby Peter who was a trisomy 18 baby. He lived a very short time. We had a brother who was also a special needs child who died at age 11. We had a cousin with MS.
The Trisomy 18 Foundation has done a tremendous job supporting the needs of a diverse group of trisomy 18 children and families. There are children who like my nephew pass on early. They leave behind the broken hearts that need mending. Trisomy 18 Foundation is very good at making these short lives count for something and have genuine meaning with the tributes on the legacy page. They offer support to families in mourning with other families who have been there and offer true solace and compassion. They offer awareness of the medical condition of Trisomy 18. And they pass along hope and lift up all of us with stories of those affected who are beating the odds and living longer lives. The collective experience of the families gifted with a Trisomy 18 child is channeled productively to three advisory councils, Family, Medical and Research which brings first hand knowledge and experience to families in need, and to professionals who are aided by the insights, knowledge and wisdom acquired. This foundation does important work. All advisory councils do valuable work. Especially important is the guidance that the Trisomy 18 Foundation offers to help to determine what areas of research are needed most to help combat and finally conquer this genetic disorder. I endorse their efforts highly. -James R. Peterson, P.E./M.B.A.
