PODS Angels Support Group is for families that
have a child with Down syndrome. This group was started when my little Miss Mariah was almost 3 months
old in 1998. Today almost 4 1/2 years
later, it is a wonderful group of families that look to this support group as the 'daily news' for things that
are of interest and where topics can be discussed in an open and honest way through our ONLINE support site hosted by MyFamily.com,
which is password protected. Families have place where they come together to share and learn about services and
therapies available to all our little angels in our local area.
PODS Angels Support Groups have, "Angel Gatherings
in the Park" on the LAST Saturday of every month in local parks.
Families 'get connected' with other
local families for personal help and support especially with all the maze of information and services that are available
in our local areas.
PODS Angels *Online* Support Sites are
set up by email invitation only. These sites are hosted by MyFamily.com, where there are well over 1200 photographs posted
of our beautiful children in the 1st original PODS Angels Online Support Site! Each child has their own photo
album within the sites! If you are looking for a new way of getting connected to families in your area, please email me and
let's get you connected!
The "News" that is posted to the sites, are some of the hottest issues that our families
are dealing with at the moment. If it's a new law that may affect services to our children, we have a place to "let it out"
and share our concerns!
A Spanish PODS Angeles site is up and running, as is our newest Miami
PODS Angels Support Group! South West Florida PODS Angels, located in Fort Myers, Florida hosted there 1st Buddy Walk the
West Coast of Florida has ever had! This group has much to be proud of...they are just opening up a much needed Resource Center
in Fort Myers, Florida.
PODS Angels would like to help
anyone set up and start a PODS Angels support group in areas where there needs to be more family support. If
your area doesn't have a support group, let us show you how to get started! Please email PODS Angels
and let us know if you are willing to be the "leader/director" in your area! You can do it!
If you or someone
you know has a Special Angel with that teeny weeny little extra 21st chromosome, called Down syndrome and you would like
to find a place to be able to ask questions or to be apart of a very special group of families, let us know!
We all have that same common bond
of having a Special Angel with Down syndrome!
Email and request an invitation into the one of our
private online support sites in your area. We would love to get to know you and your sweet little Angel!
