About Grayson...Grayson, like most children, was born into a family of love and hope. Unlike most children, she happened to have Down Syndrome and a congenital heart defect. Despite the expert attention provided by her parents, cardiologists, and heart surgeon, Grayson did not survive surgery to repair her heart. She graced this world with her presence for a mere 7 months before joining the other angels in heaven. Grayson left behind a wonderful gift for children with disabilities and their families. During her short life, she touched the hearts of many individuals other than her family. Several of these individuals did not know each other before Grayson. Today, they are united in their love and supportive attitude for children with disabilities. Those individuals who loved Grayson will now touch many other lives. Grayson's Gift is that of bringing together a community of people to support children with disabilities. |
