At SOFT, everything we do is rooted in compassion: Supporting Families and Changing the Narrative surrounding Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18, Trisomy 9, and related diagnoses. That work is only possible because of the extraordinary generosity of the families, friends, and supporters who stand with us year after year.

This month, we are beginning a meaningful tradition — sharing a public expression of gratitude for donors who contributed during October 2025. While SOFT has always sent personalized thank-you acknowledgements, we have never posted monthly donor recognition. As our community grows, we want to celebrate the kindness and commitment that keep our mission strong.

We also want to thank Judie Laird for her kindness in preparing our thank-you acknowledgements and helping us honor each donor thoughtfully.

As this is our first month sharing donor recognition publicly, we want to note that SOFT will always do our best to avoid omissions or errors. If we ever miss a name or tribute unintentionally, please know that it is never from a lack of gratitude. Every gift matters deeply to us.

Before listing this month’s donors, we also want to recognize something important:

SOFT’s impact over the past four decades has been built by thousands of acts of generosity — donations to the conference and general fund, care packages, memorial gifts, and the many hours contributed by volunteers.

This list reflects only those who donated during October 2025; our gratitude extends equally to every supporter across the years.

Thank you for helping us support families, honor every child’s story, and continue changing the narrative together.
