What an absolutely AMAZING day we had at our Step Up 4 Down Syndrome 2024 Walk!

By Uncategorized

Even though we weren’t able to set up the day before due to all the rain, we had all hands-on deck at 5:30 am! Everything was done and ready for our incredible Walk celebrating our individuals with Down syndrome and their extremely dedicated families! We had so many new vendors this year, it was a treat to visit with them and collect goodies and resources!

Our Volunteers showed up this year ready to work and serve in any capacity needed. Our participants were very happy with the entertainment, music and activities. All of it was made possible with the support of our wonderful Sponsors, incredible Team fundraising and your Donations. Every year we tweak things per your suggestions, and every year the Walk gets better and better!

We are thankful the weather held out, we had a lovely breeze and a welcome day of shade. We thank you all for your raffle donations, and your time and energy, all of it benefits our Down syndrome community and allows us to continue our Mission.

We are so thankful for such a generous community and for your continued support! We cannot be successful without you!

Donations will be accepted on our Walk site until December 31, 2024. Please help us reach our goal if possible. All donations big or small, help, and many hands make light work! Thank you for sharing this day with us, and for donating!

Welcome Living Faith Luteran Church, our new SU4DS Sponsor!

By Uncategorized

Welcome, Living Faith Lutheran Church, our new Bronze Sponsor of our Step Up 4 Down Syndrome 2024 Walk! We appreciate your generosity and support of the Broward Gold Coast Down Syndrome Organization. It was so nice to meet you at the Joe DiMaggio Resource Fair and we look forward to seeing you at our Walk!

Home (livingfaithlutheran.org)

We are a small, friendly, caring congregation that opens its doors to all people, just as Jesus would. We are committed to being a community that enables individuals to grow in their faith daily, and encourages each person to embody the unconditional love of Christ. We are a little bit of an unconventional congregation as we meet weekly for worship at 9:30 am every Sunday, choosing to rent rather than to have our own building, as we truly believe that the “church” is its people, and the work that it does to spread the hope filled Gospel message. After the worship service please join us for fellowship time and refreshments so that we can get to know each other better. Our congregation was founded in 2004. Ever since, we have been an active member in supporting the Pembroke Pines Community and are seeking more people that are looking to embody what it means to Live out our Faith, not just on Sundays, but in our daily lives.

Meloro Law

Without a plan, the high costs of long-term care and probate can quickly drain your life savings and jeopardize a secure future. Meloro Law can help you put a plan in place which protects your loved ones, keeps your family out of court and out of conflict and protects your hard-earned savings and assets. And, if and when you need care, we can help you navigate a complex system to assure the best care possible without being wiped out financially. While we work with all ages and abilities, knowing the unique needs of the senior and special needs populations allows us to take a holistic approach which serves our clients well.

Meloro Law will help you get your ducks in a row by setting up an estate plan which:

  • Names trusted decision-makers in case you get sick
  • Protects your life savings and assets
  • Allows you to qualify for Medicaid to help cover the exorbitant costs of long-term care
  • Keeps your loved ones out of court

And for those who did not plan ahead, we can help your loved ones through the court processes of guardianship and/or probate.

  • Estate Planning & Incapacity Planning
  • Asset Protection & medicaid Qualification for Long-Term Care
