Welcome to CODSN!
Our network was started by two moms after their girls were born with Down syndrome just eight days apart in 2003. As we connected and began connecting with other families, we found such a value in others who were able to understand. In 2010 we developed an official board of directors and received our IRS non-profit status. We now are a network of over 900 families in Central Oregon who have children experiencing disability.
Thanks to donations and grants we are able to continue connecting families and providing information and resources at no cost.
We are devastated to share that we lost Mason on Monday August 20th. Mason always enjoyed life and was curious about everything! He was a smart, handsome, and funny 7 year old boy who had cerebral palsy and various other disabilities. In his short life, Mason touched the lives of so many. ♥
Please help us raise funds to celebrate Mason and give him true sendoff he deserves. All funds will go to Mason's grandmother to pay for funeral expenses and support her so she can take some time off work during this difficult time as she makes arrangements.
