The Lucky Few

The Lucky Few Foundation is a global storytelling movement, shifting narratives to create a more inclusive world where everyone belongs. The Foundation ensures that family members, friends and loved ones of a person with Down syndrome have the opportunity to share what it means to be part of "the lucky few," and everyone else has the opportunity to access it. We tell the stories of the parents-who-are to offer a lens of love to the parents-to-be, trading the fear of the unexpected for trust in the goodness of what it. We tell the stories of the grandparents and aunties, teachers and coaches, co-workers and friends, each story peeling back the crusty, dark and toxic narrative attaching a person's worth to their ability. We do this to shine a light on the intrinsic value and worth in every living, breathing, spectacular human with Down syndrome. We tell the stories to shift a narrative, making way for inclusion and belonging for all. We invite you into the story - stories that open hearts, that shift narratives, that matter.
