Author's Statement:
My name is Monika Francis and my website is dedicated and based on the genetic disorders Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18. I chose to do this project and website because one of these genetic disorders has personally affected my family and some of my closets friends around me. I want to bring more awareness to these disorders by providing information on the how you can get these disorders and some of the abnormalities or other problems that come along with having Trisomy 13 or Trisomy 18. I also want to help other people who are struggling with this and give them places where they can reach out and talk to people who have either been through this or know alot about these genetic disorders. People are unaware that this occurs alot in children; and I do not want them to feel as if they are alone because there are people who are going through the same thing as them. I hope that you enjoy this website and that you learn alot about these disorders and if you ever find yourself in the position to have to deal with this, this information and website will be used as a tool to help guide you through.
