“My parents were shot when I was ten years old. My mother was a lawyer and my dad was an engineer. They’d been working in South Africa, and they resisted a robbery attempt. At least that’s what my grandfather told me. I thought everyone was fooling me until their..."

(2/2) “Her history came out slowly once she learned to talk. She’d been abused in every possible way. She’d never had a Christmas. She’d never been to school. She’d never even slept in a dry bed. All she’d ever known was deprivation. But once we got her, we left that..."

(1/2) “In those days there was a blue book in the library with all the faces of children who needed homes. She was eight years old. Her foster parents should have been thrown in jail. No immunization records. She’d never been to school. No language skills. She couldn’t..."

“We come from Palestine, and both of these athletes live in refugee camps. The camp has a special needs program provided by the Red Crescent, but that ends at the age of sixteen. And there’s nowhere to go after that. No programs. No jobs. So right now Special Olympics..."

“This is the first time in my whole life that I got a gold medal in the World Games. I was very calm and controlled my emotions. When I left home, my mom said to focus hard on my trainings and make Egypt proud of you. Sometimes when I’m on my horse I pretend like my mom..."

“Papa left El Salvador eight years ago to come work in Dubai. It’s very difficult without him but I understand the reasons why he is gone. He said he was very sorry but he needed to find a way for us to live. He is an excellent worker. I was so very sad in the..."

“It was a problem with my memory. I couldn’t remember things. Everyone else my age was moving forward, and I kept staying behind. My heart was very sore. I loved school. I wanted to be a doctor and a lawyer just like everyone else. I kept asking God: ‘Why is this..."

“I tried to make friends as a child but it never worked out. Every day I’d get bullied. My teachers were nice, but the only kids who would spend time with me were my cousins-- and they were in a higher class. People would call me ‘idiot’ and ‘stupid.’ They’d push me..."

(4/4) “Even within the Down Syndrome community, it can be hard to not compare. You’ve found a group of people going through the same thing as you. And suddenly there are gradations. I follow all these people on Instagram that are my age and have Down Syndrome babies..."

(3/4) “My maternity leave was spent bouncing between hospitals, therapists, and the insurance company. I still talk to a doctor every single day of every single week. My daughter has had five surgeries already—two on her heart. I have to fight so much. It took a month of..."

(2/4) “There was an eighty percent chance of miscarriage. I walked around every day not knowing if my daughter was still alive. Every two weeks I went to the doctor to check for a heartbeat. I always asked them to face the ultrasound screen away from me. I couldn’t bear..."

(1/4) “At ten weeks the blood test came back with markers for Down Syndrome. Then the next week we found out there were further complications. There was a grieving process for both of us. We had to realize that things were going to be different. I think it was harder for..."

“We’re from the small island country of Vanuatu. I don’t know anything about sports, but nobody else wanted to coach the team. So I volunteered. Special Olympics gave me a list of sports and I chose the long jump. But two of my athletes couldn’t jump. So we moved to the..."

“I’m here to support my older brother. You’d never know he has special needs by looking at him. But what you can learn in one hour, it might take him three or four years. Even though I’m younger, he’s always looked up to me. He writes on my Facebook wall all the..."

“I first met him when he was thirteen years old. He lives in one of the most remote regions of Brunei. You can only get there by river. There’s no running water, no electricity, no utilities. Certainly no special education facilities. He came alone to our city looking..."

“On a unified team, each athlete is allowed a partner to support them on the court. We make sure every athlete gets a chance to participate and score. We control the tempo. Since basketball games can be chaotic, it can be helpful for athletes to have a teammate who can..."

“I have twenty superheroes that I keep in a folder on my phone and I take it out to look at them, and I pretend that I am the leader of an entire superhero team. The whole team is counting on me to get as strong as possible because I am the muscle of the team. Being the..."

“We are the first female athletes from Saudi Arabia. It makes us feel wow. It’s one of the nicest moments in our life. I have to be happy and positive because I am the basketball team captain. Whenever we make a shot, I clap. I also clap if we miss it. And I clap if the..."
