A global storytelling movement.
The Lucky Few Foundation believes in a fully-inclusive world where our differences are not just accepted but are celebrated, embraced and encouraged. A world where everyone knows an actual living person with Down syndrome and what it means to be part of "the lucky few."
Every Story Matters
The Lucky Few Foundation exists because knowing and understanding Down syndrome is not the same as knowing and understanding a person with Down syndrome.
Thank you for being a part of our global storytelling movement and creating a more inclusive world where everyone belongs.
This is Down Syndrome. These stories feature people with Down syndrome of different ages and walks of life and the people closest to them.
The Lucky Few Foundation believes storytelling is the key to shifting the Down Syndrome narrative – sharing our stories to foster empathy and create a kinder, more inclusive world. One of the avenues in which the Foundation does this is through our storytelling project, "This Is Down Syndrome."
