Thank you for taking the time to read about Kai's story! 

Kai is a bright shining light in our world. He has an electric smile and never ceases to surprise us with what he can do.

When Kai was 14 months old, we discovered that he has 3 copies of the 21st chromosome (Trisomy 21). Since then, we have been seeking out many different types of therapy to help him with the issues he is facing (low muscle tone, delayed motor skills, delayed speech, and hypothyroidism). Kai is doing amazingly well with what we have done for him so far: Neurodevelopmental Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Targeted Nutritional Intervention.  We have been working with a doctor who does Functional Medicine to keep his thyroid healthy and to counter the effects of what is known as "gene over-expression".  We are always doing some kind of therapy, and our goal is to exceed all expectations!

In October we are headed to San Francisco to do a week of intensive therapy for Kai. We are super excited! Kai is getting close to taking steps on his own and we are hoping this therapy will give him what he needs to be walking independently.

We are running this campaign to help pay for this very special opportunity. Here's what we'll be doing for him:
