Our Stories
GiGi’s Playhouse inspires and changes lives, building success for our
participants across their lifespan! Families share how GiGi’s is truly
magical; volunteers talk about how GiGi’s Playhouse gives them so
much more than they could give in return. We see this in the sheer joy
on our participants’ faces when they walk through our doors… Our
Smiles and Impact Stories capture our DNA of laughter, love and pure
happiness that provides the foundation for a lifetime of success.
Gianna
NEW to the Twin Cities
We moved to the Cities a little over a year ago with our 20-year old daughter, Gianna. We
were hoping to find a place where she could make some new friends and feel a part of a
loving, inclusive community and were fortunate to find GiGi’s Playhouse in Saint Louis Park.
Because we came from a small community in northern Minnesota, Gianna had not had
the opportunity to be around very many other kids with special needs. She really only
knew one other person with Down syndrome. At GiGi’s Playhouse, almost immediately, I
saw Gianna blossom with smiles and her animated personality that makes her so special.
We were so excited for her to meet many other people just like herself. Thank you GiGi’s
for bringing my daughter’s heart, soul, and sassiness out, with a flair!
Honestly, when we are at GiGi’s Playhouse, it is some of our best hours of our week. I
am still in awe that all GiGi’s programs are completely free; Gianna has been involved
with EPIC and Fantastic Friends. She cannot wait to be in the Theater group this Fall.
It means so much to me that for the first time I have had the opportunity to meet other
parents and have learned a ton from them. I love being able to visit with people who have
had similar experiences and concerns. As a parent, GiGi’s has given me the opportunity
to share my concerns, even at times share my soul with other parents and quite frankly
there is no place like GiGi’s for parents like me.
I recently went through the volunteer training and look forward to being more involved
with the programs offered at GiGi’s. -Sandy, Gianna’s Mom

Sahra and Mustaf
A Mother’s Love for her Son and her Community
When Sahra brought home Mustaf from the hospital in 2003, she didn’t have much
information about Down syndrome — nor was there anyone she knew of that could
answer her questions about Down syndrome in the Somali language. With no referrals
to help, Sahra started doing her own research about Down syndrome and discovered
that people with Down syndrome develop and learn in different ways compared to their
typically-developing peers.
She reached out to parents with children with Down syndrome at Mustaf’s school and
thankfully discovered GiGi’s Playhouse Twin Cities. When Sahra brought Mustaf to
GiGi’s, she felt a sigh of relief and pure joy. She immediately enrolled him in literacy and
math tutoring, social skills groups, Team G Basketball and more recently, Everyone Can
Dance. She saw Mustaf thriving and gaining confidence through his GiGi’s experience.
Sahra shared that growing up in Somalia, people with Down syndrome exist, but not
out in public – from birth, people with Down syndrome are immediately sent off to
a hospital for the rest of their lives. In 2018, Sahra was inspired to change this
misperception in her adopted community. Together with GiGi’s Playhouse and The
Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota, a Somali Parent Group was created.
For the last year, GiGi’s Playhouse has become a home away from home, giving
Erin Long
Somali parents a chance to network with each other and begin to believe their children
with Down syndrome all have so much potential. This has happily led to more
Somali families becoming involved with GiGi’s Playhouse Twin Cities’ progressive,
and purposeful, programming. -Staff interview with Sahra, Mustaf’s Mom
Life Changing Experience
I came to GiGi’s thinking I was going to help others feel
comfortable and loved, but it was the exact opposite––
GiGi’s has made me feel so incredibly loved, special and
important. GiGi’s has transformed me and is now an
incredibly significant part of my life. GiGi’s is a place of
laughter, love and pure happiness. I run around with the
toddlers, I play tag with the kids, I sing karaoke with the
teens, and I cook with the adults — oh, and I end up
dancing with all of them.
At the Volunteer Appreciation Night, the adults from EPIC gave speeches about what
GiGi’s means to them. I remember Brian gave a speech about how GiGi’s has changed
his life and he didn’t know where he would be without it. He was crying, and the
volunteers were crying, and I think that moment really captured what GiGi’s is: a life
changing place where you will always be loved, supported, and appreciated. I think
everyone needs a GiGi’s in their life. Everyone needs a place where they dance with
sheer joy and unconditional acceptance! -Erin, Student Volunteer

• Cardio Club -- Everyone deserves a healthy heart! Feb
8
One universal characteristic of a Down syndrome diagnosis is low muscle tone, which can
often include the heart. The vision for GiGi’s Cardio Club is to create a semi-enclosed, safe
space in our Gym with stationary bikes and rowing machines.
• Teen Enrichment ZONE – Teens and Young Adults like their own space to hang out!
Create/design an inviting, open-design space, featuring cozy furniture, a reading nook, and
sensory materials.
• Stage and Theatre Renovation –
Every GiGi’s Playhouse has a stage for our stars. Our participants want to transform our stage
to be more theatrical, not only cosmetically, but with a full stage/home theatre system for program
