Blossom is 8 years old full of energy, joy, and curiosity. She lives every day with down syndrome and her journey has been inspiring.

Blossom can walk, talk, feed herself, dress herself, and use the restroom independently. She enjoys writing numbers and sounds and reciting rhymes from school.

Her story reminds us that with the right support every child can thrive however due to a lack of resources and just 5 parents recognising that their child may have a learning difference, many children are still waiting for that opportunity.

As a small team of UK-based interns and Nigerian staff our mission is to work with HTC Special Needs Nigeria and raise 1,000,000 Naira (around £500) to support More Grace School.

With your help, we hope to:

Fund a larger transport vehicle so more children can get to school safely.

Provide small learning gifts to children and families, showing them they are seen and valued.

Run a training seminar for parents to understand special needs and empower families.

Your donation can help create impact and will give hope, access and visibility to the children at More Grace School.

🙏Thank you for standing with Blossom and children like her 🙏

Blossom's parents discovered her diagnosis when she was just a few months old. Since then, it’s been a path paved with love, support, and determination. She is a friendly and playful and in her mum’s words “has more friends than I do!”. We are very proud to be supporting Blossom and More Grace School this summer.
