Our foundation was started in memory of our daughter, Molly Elizabeth, who had Trisomy 18. We were not given much hope that she would survive birth, but she lived for 19 months. We are thankful for the time we had with her. There are medical conditions and costs associated with caring for a child who has Trisomy 18. We were lucky to have good medical insurance and many family members and friends who were there to help us with Molly's care. When she died, we wanted to honor her by helping other families who have a child who has the same condition she did.

We have been able to help families with medical bills, medical equipment, and occupational/physical therapy, as well as helping families attend an annual Trisomy Conference where they can meet other families who are on a similar journey. They are also able to attend workshops to learn more about the latest research and ways to improve their child's quality of life.
