Reese was born on September 16, 2011 & surprised us with a diagnosis of Down syndrome along with a congenital heart defect. We spent much of her first year at Children’s Mercy Hospital rotating through a variety of specialties, including cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, general surgery, gastroenterology, audiology, ophthalmology & endocrinology. CMH was like a second home to us. On April 25, 2012, Reese underwent open heart surgery that literally saved her life. We are forever indebted to the staff at Children’s Mercy & would like to give a little back to show our appreciation.
As a toddler, Reese received weekly PT, OT & speech therapy. She showed an early affinity for sign language & ASL was her primary mode of communication until her speech emerged. Although she now rarely signs, we will always hold sign language near & dear to our heart. Reese loves school & just graduated from first grade. In her spare time, she takes dance & gymnastics, films makeup “tutorials” and terrorizes her three sisters. Reese loves animals (she has three dogs, two cats & a revolving door of foster animals), so we decided to partner with the animal therapy program at CMH for this project.
Reese’s sister, Reagan, is the most artistically inclined person in our family, so she helped Reese with the designs. Reagan drew the majority of the images while Reese added the color & text. It was such a fun collaboration for the two.

Music Is Love
Rhett was born with an unexpected diagnosis of Down syndrome at birth and from the moment
his parents knew, they began to advocate for him. They initially set a goal to be the highest
fundraising team at the Buddy Walk for the Down Syndrome Partnership of North Texas, so
with the help of some of their favorite Texas Country artists, they were able to raise over
$50,000 the first year and far surpass their goal. Since that year, they have begun their own
501-c3 Non-Profit organization called Rhett’s Roadies. Every year, at least ten local artists
donate their time and talent at this free event at Billy Bob’s Texas. It’s an all-day event that
involves great music, a silent and live auction and an all-around great time. The monies raised
at Rhett’s Roadies is split between the Down Syndrome Partnership of North Texas, a
wonderful resource for local families of people with Down syndrome, and KinderFrogs School at
TCU, an amazing program for children from 18 months to 6 years old, that prepares them to
enter and thrive in an inclusive school setting. In the past, they have also donated to the Fort
Worth Dream Park that was opened in 2019, and allows children of all abilities to play freely.
The event has been held for 9 years and counting and has raised over $500,000 so far for the
Down syndrome community. Although the money raised is helpful for these programs, their
main objective is to promote acceptance and inclusion for all people with Down syndrome.
Rhett is an 8-year-old boy with Down syndrome, and the inspiration for the non-profit
organization, Rhett’s Roadies. He is in 2 nd grade at his local elementary school in Aledo, Texas.
He is a lover of Texas Country music, especially Cody Canada and the Departed, roping his calf
dummies, riding horses, farm animals, and all things cowboy! On any given day, you can find
him watching rodeo videos on YouTube and rough-housing with his little brother, Knox. It’s rare
to see him without a beautiful smile on his face and a rope in his hand. He, with the help of
Knox, created some great art for Paper-Clouds Apparel in hopes for more awareness and
inclusion for people with Down syndrome!

Colt was born in July 2014, surprising everyone with his extra chromosome. His smile, love, funny faces, dancing, singing, and insistence on high-fiving or hugging every single person, added so much joy and love to his family, but he didn’t stop there. God used Colt to open their hearts to the needs of children all around the world, with a special calling to those with Down syndrome, leading them to Reece’s Rainbow, an organization whose mission is to find families for children with Down syndrome, who are languishing and hidden away in orphanages and mental institutions in other parts of the world.
Through Reece’s Rainbow, Colt and his family found his baby brother Nic, who was left in an orphanage in Ukraine because he had Down syndrome.
Nic was brought home one week before his 1st birthday in January 2017. He and Colt have been best friends and partners in crime from the very first day. They now spend their days dancing, singing, hugging, stealing cookies, spreading joy and showing the world just how downright wonderfully made they are through Instagram @downrightwonderful .
Their older siblings Luke, Ryann, Graci, Presli and Morgan helped draw the pictures and used Colt and Nic’s hand prints and fingerprints for the artwork
Design Benefits

Emma is a very happy 11 yr. old who loves life. She was born at 27 weeks and weighed 2 lbs. 14 oz. She developed a brain bleed at birth and this caused her to have Cerebral Palsy. She spent 72 days in the NICU and it was during her stay in the NICU when we realized how tough she would be. She was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy one week before her first birthday.
Emma began physical therapy during her first year of life and she started school at the age of 18 months. The teachers and professionals along the way have helped Emma develop a positive attitude and have given her a life without limitations. She loves going to school so she can see her friends and has always been very social. During Kindergarten, Emma explained to her class why she was in a wheelchair and uses a walker. One of the kids asked, “What is Cerebral Palsy?” Emma answered, “When I was born, I got a boo-boo on my brain.” Emma has not let CP get in the way of her dreams. She has always wanted to dance and walk by herself.
On June 6th, 2013 Emma had spinal surgery to help her reach her dream of walking. Emma took this surgery on with a smile and has undergone extensive physical therapy. She has made amazing progress and can now take up to 3 independent steps! She currently goes to physical therapy 3 times a week and continues to persevere. She has inspired many and we are very proud of what she has accomplished in such a short time. Emma recently had an assignment at school and was to give advice to a baby on their first day here on earth. This is what she wrote, “Some days you will pass the test. Some days you will get the answers wrong. Some days you will reach your dreams. Some days you will lose your grip. It’s just how it is here. Enjoy your new life!” She is a beautiful, caring, and bright young lady. You can follow Emma’s amazing journey on her Facebook page!!

He uses sign language and a speech device to communicate right now.

When AAsher’s 3rd birthday was coming up (12-12-12), we decided to do something extra special since it fell on such a cool date and that’s where it all began………We thought about a special party or something surrounding the number 12 and that grew into 12 days of gifts!! Since he was going to be turning “3”, we decided that we would give 3 gifts per day for 12 days leading up to his actual birthday! Birthday gifts for others!!! What I didn’t realize when we decided to embark on this journey was the overwhelming joy that not only the recipients would experience, but the joy that EVERYONE experienced!!! This tiny little boy with so many odds against him was changing people, one heart and mind at a time! It didn’t start off as a way to raise awareness for Down syndrome, but it just happened!!
