PODS Angels Support Foundation, Inc.
a.k.a.
Parents of Down syndrome Angels!
PODS Angels
is a non-profit support group organization for parents of Down syndrome. PODS Angels began in 1998 almost 8 years ago
after the birth of our beautiful daughter Mariah, she has Down syndrome. PODS Angels Support has been helping families
'get connected' to one other for friendships, support and encouragement. Helping families go thru the maze of Early Intervention
services and therapies that are available today has been rewarding and motivating. We continue reaching out on the internet
and to the local hospitals and other resources that will continue to keep us connected to the newest parents that need that positive support at the very beginning
of their journey to Holland, (a poem) what
is often times an uncertain time, especially in the early days. Being a positive support person to families is what drives
us! Advocacy skills are something that we as a support group empower parents with. Helping parents learn how to be the BEST
Advocates they can be for their child especially during the school IEP meetings! Bringing back old fashioned ‘Tea Parties’
by hosting ‘Advocacy Tea Parties’, parents meeting and learning with other parents. Need help or advice...email us, hopefully we can point you in the right direction
for where you are presently. PODS Angels Support provides lots of local resources to families! Our highly recommended Special
Ed. Website is: www.wrightslaw.com, which is thee BEST Advocacy resource available to us
today on the internet! Down syndrome is a BLESSING to your life and the lives of those that work with and know your child.
My daughter Mariah, is PERFECT in every way. God doesn't make mistakes! PODS Angels Support has been a blessing to the families
it serves. ‘Angel Gatherings in the Park’ are held at different area parks monthly for the whole family! Email
us for our monthly Park location, plan on attending and come meet other families!
