Where families find hope, support, and truth — behind closed doors.

Our Mission
Down Syndrome Forgotten exists to serve the families who feel overlooked, unheard, and under-supported — the ones living the real journey behind closed doors. From wandering to meltdowns, from sleep apnea to medical battles, from school struggles to systemic barriers, we walk with the families who are tired of fighting alone.
Our goal is simple:
No child with Down syndrome. No family. No caregiver. Forgotten.

Why We Exist
Because the truth is this:
Most of the world has no idea what happens behind closed doors.
The late nights.
The wandering.
The meltdowns.
The medical chaos.
The appointments.
The exhaustion.
The fear.
The invisible battles.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
This community was built for you.
