| PODS Angels
aka 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 10 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!
