Witty t-shirts and decals, by 7 year old Kalli Jane, to promote awareness of Downs Syndrome and contribute to an educational fund.
“Make a Joyful Noise…”
Kalli Jane Vinson is a ray of sunshine in our lives and we couldn’t imagine a world without her. This golden-haired surprise is joyful, mischievous, stubborn, and creative and has a sense of humor that never ceases to surprise all who know her. Kalli lives in a little country house, on a little country road, in the country! The family farm includes a horse, a boar hog, 3 do
gs and a cat. She’s a regular four-wheeler passenger, fisherman, and avid ‘colorer’ and hopes to go hunting with her dad in the next 2 years. She is compassionate beyond measure and ‘doctors’ her family members weekly. She accepts all people without judgment or comparison and is happy in a world that doesn’t always appreciate her wonderful heart. Kalli loves God, her family and Chick Filet!!!
“Kalli Says” is a snapshot of her wit and sense of humor at 7 years of age. As she grows, so will her educational needs. Proceeds from “Kalli Says” will start an educational fund for her. We can’t wait to see what the future has in store for Kalli Jane and what she has to offer this big world! Facts about Downs Syndrome:
