Some messages need to be shouted into the wind, from a boat, with total confidence.​

​In this video from , he shares a message close to his heart: that babies with Down syndrome and other different abilities are a gift, and that everyone's story is worth speaking out to the world.​

​
Confidence like Colin's doesn't happen by accident, it's built through belief, community, and people who tell you your story matters. At GiGi's Playhouse, that's exactly what we aim to build in every person who walks through our doors.​

Kylie remembers the exact seat she was sitting in.​

In this video from , she takes us back to the moment a doctor told her, "your baby likely has Down syndrome" — and the tears that came with it in the front seat of her car. Then she cuts to now: her daughter, thriving, alongside a caption that says it all — "well aren't I lucky."​
​
This is the story so many families in our GiGi's community carry: fear first, and then a love so big it rewrites everything you thought you knew. At GiGi's Playhouse, we meet families right at that turning point, and we get to watch them find exactly what Kylie found. Lucky doesn't begin to cover it.​
