Lindsey Roy's Story:
Although
she was born with Down Syndrome and has been challenged by some of the
associated health issues, Lindsey has been very happy and has lived life
to its fullest! She is fearless and pursues interests and hobbies
with excitement and dedication and she is a great source of inspiration
for her large circle of friends and extended family.
Lindsey
keeps busy and active in the community. She attends college at The
University of Colorado in Colorado Springs (UCCS). She also takes dance
lessons, performs in the local community inclusive theater, loves to
paint and currently volunteers at the YMCA where she has volunteered for
the past 10 years. Lindsey also volunteered at Memorial Hospital for 3
1/2 years where she started on the patient floors and moved to the NICU
(Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). Lindsey is a serious fan of music,
theater and dance and has been cheer leading for the Denver Jr. Broncos
Cheer team.
After
graduating high school Lindsey got a job stringing beads for a local
bead shop. Lindsey had always been talking about going to college just
like her brother. She wanted to raise some money in order to take classes
and she wanted to start her own business because she has always had a
dream about being a business woman. Lindsey decided to follow her
dreams and soon Lindseymade Originals was born!
Lindsey's
bead stringing soon expanded to necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Beyond raising money for her college, Lindsey also donates part of her
jewelry sales to many other wonderful charities. Lindsey had spent
enough time volunteering for the Memorial hospital, UCCS, the YMCA and
local Down Syndrome Association to know that it's important to support
these organizations. This little idea has turned into a job for her
future that she is excited about. She has a great time meeting new
people and sharing her abundant kindness and generosity with everyone
she meets!
