My sister, Janet aka Janny, loves to dance and she has always dreamed of being a performer. At a young age, my parents signed her up with Straight Up Abilities (SUA), a non-profit dance company for students of ALL abilities. It has truly changed her life and ours for the better! We are so thankful that because of SUA Janny has formed life-long friendships and is part of a community that supports her dreams.

She is the most talented person I know and her confidence just makes it that much more impressive. Exhibit A - here is an example of Janny jumping into an impromptu dance at Universal Studios Hollywood and KILLIN' IT!

 

 

This summer, Janet's dance team has been invited to perform at Walt Disney World for the Special Olympics in June 2022. Our family wants to make this happen for her and her friends, so we are creating this GoFundMe to help make this happen! All funds will go to Straight Up Abilities to help pay for the team's flight, hotel, transportation, and memories to last for a lifetime.

 

In return, Janny wants to draw each of her donors an original JD art piece. For those who don't know, Janny is also very artistic and has been practicing drawing and coloring during the pandemic. Of course, SHE IS REALLY GOOD AT IT! So if you donate, please let me know who your favorite Disney character is, and soon you will have a JD original in your mailbox! :)

 

Examples of a few JD Originals (I told you she's really good!):
