Loshen & Crem · Our community
A cause close to our heart
Care,
beyond our doors.
Our community is part of who we are. The Edmonton Down Syndrome Society holds a special place in our story—and in our wish to become more involved.
A note from our founder
A personal story.
A reason to give.
The greatest gift to give someone is your time, attention and love.
Sarah-Maude
Founder of Loshen & Crem
In memory of Ezekiel and Mathys.
After losing my sons, Ezekiel and Mathys, the presence and kindness of others helped me keep going. That experience shaped the place I want care, listening and giving to have in my life.
The Edmonton Down Syndrome Society is a cause close to my heart. Through Loshen & Crem, I want to make more room for it and invite our community to discover its work.

A chapter in our story
Our original campaign pledged $10 from each service to EDSS, from September 1, 2020 to March 1, 2021. We keep this chapter of our story here as we look towards what comes next.
That campaign has ended. It is not a current donation offer tied to purchases or treatments.
