Our Story

Thank you so much for visiting our campaign page. We are launching this T-shirt drive to support my beautiful sister, Arlene, who is currently in the hospital facing some of her toughest battles yet. Arlene has Down syndrome and is a constant source of joy, love, and light in our family's lives. Right now, she is preparing to undergo critical kidney surgery. In addition to her upcoming operation, she is also undergoing crucial blood tests and medical evaluations for leukemia.

How You Can Help

Because our friends and family are spread across the world, we wanted a unified way for everyone to show their love and solidarity. By purchasing one of these custom cotton shirts, you are doing two incredible things:

1. Direct Medical Support: 100% of the proceeds from every single item sold will go directly toward paying for Arlene's surgeries, laboratory tests, and hospital care.
2. A Global Wave of Love: We chose 'Stitched, Known, Loved' to honor God through Arlene's journey and to promote awareness for the beautiful Down syndrome community. We want the world to know that individuals with Down syndrome are seen, known, and fiercely loved. Sending us a photo of you wearing this shirt will create a powerful wall of global love and faith to comfort Arlene as she heals in the hospital.

If you can't purchase a shirt but still want to support us, Bonfire also allows direct donations on this page, and we appreciate your prayers, shares, and positive thoughts more than words can say.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with Arlene. We love you all!
