KIDS has branched out to the West Coast! California mom Heather Graves proudly carried our banner at a candlelight prayer vigil in San Diego.
Heather reports:
We are thrilled to have KIDS represented on the West Coast!It is with great pride that my sister and I held the "Keep Infants with Down Syndrome" Banner at our Pro-Life Candlelight Prayer Vigil along Harbor Dr. in downtown San Diego. There were about 180 people lining the street holding signs, candles and praying together. We got a lot of support and encouragement by those who passed by.
The birth of my son John Carroll 3 years ago filled my life with joy. It also opened my eyes to the horrific reality of the over 90% abortion rate of the innocent unborn diagnosed with Down Syndrome. I have always been an active member of the pro-life movement. I was ashamed that I was not aware of this grim reality. I am so grateful for the opportunity to defend the life of the unborn.
Incidentally, the banner Heather carried was donated by Melissa Souza. Melissa does not have a child with Down syndrome, but she has a heart for them. She contacted me last year wanting to contribute something to KIDS. I suggested signs or a banner, and she quickly located a pro-life printer who made a banner from our logo. Melissa has a business called Baby’s Own Space, making beautiful personalized name plaques for children. Please check out her website and support this pro-life mom’s business.
Thank you Heather and Melissa for supporting KIDS and helping us defend and celebrate the lives of children with Down syndrome!
How cool! My husband and 2 oldest were there again. So glad your organization had its debut in the self-proclaimed "city of choice".
