An Afghan For Sophia S.

This is Sophia.


Sophia is an orphan with Down syndrome in Eastern Europe and today is her GOTCHA day! She is now the daughter of Jennifer and Hector Sanchez and their adorable three boys. (They blog at Three's a Charm.)



The afghan you see in these photos was given to Sophia's family through their local Down syndrome support group and was made by myself. Each square represents a gift or sentiment from each family. Together, they make a beautiful afghan of love.

I can't even tell you what an honor it is to have played a part in this amazing gift and the start of an entire family's new life. You can read the initial post about the afghan here

Welcome home, Sophia!

An Afghan Of Their Own Fund

This fund has been created through The T21 Traveling Afghan Project in order to provide afghans for children with Down syndrome who are ill or facing other challenges.

This money goes towards purchasing yarn and covering the shipping costs of the afghan. You may make a donation towards a specific child or donate to the fund in general.

When you donate, the child will be sent a card with your name on it and you will be informed as to which child your donation provided an afghan to.

If you are interesting in donating to An Afghan Of Their Own Fund, please contact me at chandosjoy@gmail.com
