I a writing to request donations for Extra To Love's 1st Annual Virtual Silent Auction benefiting families of people with Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome) and Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome). 100% of these funds will go to assist families with the financial costs of adaptive aids; physical, occupational, and speech therapies; travel for care that is no available in their area or has been denied due to diagnosis; minor home modifications and more. The auction will begin on 9/18/23 and run through 9/22/23.

These children have for decades been considered incompatible with life. Their fight for worth and validation as people starts before they even enter this world. Our goal is to bring awareness while also providing access to care and aids that families are struggling to obtain. It is our desire to show the world that with proper support and intervention this children can live beautifully fulfilled lives. 

Thank you for your consideration.
