I am a mom to 5 beautiful people. My youngest, affectionately called ME, also known as MaryEllen, has Down syndrome. I founded the International Down Syndrome Coalition in 2008 for families new to the diagnosis of Down syndrome and share with others the innate dignity of all. In 2014, I took a break from advocacy. In 2015 I founded Dreamers Merchants Coffee company, a company that works to create an inclusive environment for individuals of all abilities. Welcome to my Dream!
