Project 321 Peel is a community that embraces, supports and inspires individuals with Down syndrome to live self-determined and fulfilling lives, as well as creating a supportive parenting network.
• Faith Bohn – Down 2 Cookie - @down2cookie
Faith Bohn is a proud mother of three, including twin boys who were both born with Down Syndrome. This drove her to launch her business- Down 2 Cookie, in 2019 with a plan to grow the business to where her sons can work alongside her when that day comes. Faith has also found a way to give back to the community she turned to when she needed it by giving 10% of all the profits made from Down 2 Cookie to Down Syndrome research and support. Down 2 Cookie is also working with the @aimprogram to hire her first helper- Daniel!

...
Due to the need to vote on several bills in the Legislature today, this interview with Hon. Mickey Amery will need to be rescheduled.
I'll post a new date and time as soon as I receive one.
Thanks!
Hi supporters,
It has been a long campaign and evening. Sadly, it appears that Team Lavigne won't be elected this time around.
We thank everyone who took the time to support us and got out to vote.
For the rest of the week, we are going to recharge, regroup, and get back to several projects that took a backseat to the campaign.
We'll be back next week ready to bring you even more shows, interviews, and truth.
Much love, God bless.
