About Us

Photo of a person with Downs syndrome who has light skin and long dark hair. They're wearing a brown smock, with a blue denim jacket, and are smiling towards the camera, holding an iPad close to their body. Behind them is a blurry grocery store, with swirls of red and green to match the DRC's logo.
