• 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!
