With Gratitude

Honoring Our July 2026 SOFT Donors

SOFT gratefully recognizes our July 2026 donors whose generosity supports families affected by Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), Trisomy 9, and related rare chromosome disorders through education, remembrance, and community.

July brought gifts given in memory, in honor, and through the Trisomy Trek, from families and friends across the SOFT community. Every gift reflects something real, a name remembered, a milestone celebrated, a family supported. We are grateful for each one.

These contributions allow SOFT to continue providing family centered support, evidence informed resources, peer connection, and gathering spaces for families touched by trisomy conditions. Thank you for walking this journey alongside us.

Monthly Donors

Sustained monthly giving provides SOFT with the stability to serve families consistently throughout the year. We are deeply grateful for the commitment of our monthly donors.

To every donor recognized here, and to those who give quietly behind the scenes, your generosity does more than fund programs. It tells families that they are not alone. It honors the children whose names appear in these pages. It strengthens a community built on love, hope, and the belief that every life matters.

Whether your gift was made in memory of a child lost too soon, in honor of a family living with Edwards syndrome or Patau syndrome, or simply because you believe in what SOFT does, we are grateful beyond words.

If you or someone you know is navigating a Trisomy 18 or Trisomy 13 diagnosis, please explore the resources and support pathways available at trisomy.org. No family should face a rare chromosome disorder diagnosis without community.

With sincere gratitude,
Nick
On behalf of the SOFT Board, Staff, and Families
