Heartwarming Kickstarter raises $22K to make clothes for people with Down syndrome
Downs Designs produces jeans, capri pants and shirts for individuals with Down syndrome, a genetic disorder that leaves patients with developmental delays and intellectual disability. Patients with Down syndrome are physically built differently than other people, and as a result often lack access to well-fitting clothes, furthering negative perceptions of people who have the disorder and increasing the condition’s social stigma.
Somebody once asked me if I could make pants for her brother, I hope that person is still following me, because here’s a resource that specializes these kinds of pants! 😀
