PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A PURPOSE

Aliyah : Down Syndrome

“Aliyah was diagnosed with trisomy 21 and multiple heart defects two days after birth. Because we had no indication that there were any probable issues, we were a bit overwhelmed to say the least. After about two years of specialists, home visits, and sleepovers at Children’s Hospital, Aliyah began to blossom like we couldn’t have foreseen. Her heart defects began to close and her health continues to improve each year. Her life has reflected a continual defiance of stereotypes and imposed limitations. God has graced her with a determined spirit that has a love and curiosity for the world around her. She has taught us to love, accept, and cheer on each moment as it comes and to stand in awe of God’s hand in her life.” written with love from Aliyah’s family.
