About 21 Extra Goodness
Founded in June 2020, 21 Extra Goodness was created to raise awareness on Down syndrome and other special needs with the vision that all people are valued and treated fairly regardless of disability.
Tingzon’s child, Marian, has Down syndrome and was born on Christmas Day via emergency C-section. She is diagnosed to have ASD (atrial septal defect) upon birth and has so far cleared all her medical appointments and does not require to undergo any surgery to date. She is thriving thru early intervention and in an inclusive playgroup school.
In celebration of World Down Syndrome Day last March, 21 Extra Goodness launched a “Bag of Goodness” campaign, a welcome hamper given to mothers whose child is diagnosed to have special needs upon birth. It is meant to give assurance to the new mom that everything will be alright given the proper support and love to their child.
By selling home-cooked dishes, 21EG aims to build a community where children with special needs can thrive through early intervention, inclusive education, and fair employment, thereby achieving a better quality of life.
