She was 54 years old and lived in care for most of her life. Florence died October 13th, 2018 in her caregiver’s home from malnutrition and starvation. There is unbearable pain in our community, when we see Florence, we see our own loved one with Down syndrome. Society neglects people with disabilities, we know this, and we are not afraid to be disruptive, to demand better - but we need to do better, together. We have to take matters into our own hands, and make sure that basic human rights for people with disabilities are met at every single turn. Our systems and supports are fragile and broken, people with disabilities live in poverty and in isolation. We need to change something. Florence starved to death. Our hope is to let Florence’s legacy motivate us all to look in the mirror and acknowledge our own part in her death; whether through active discrimination or simply by looking the other way while people with disabilities are excluded, ignored, shut away. We hope everyone decides to do better. Because of Florence, we will do better. https://www.downsyndromebc.ca/quick-links daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://www.downsyndromebc.ca/home daily 1.0 2024-07-11 https://www.downsyndromebc.ca/values daily 0.75 2024-07-09 https://www.downsyndromebc.ca/action-areas daily 0.75 2023-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f91ec6bf050df2a75b0ce91/1619802555505-RD46DGQELVA5EV4ZBIBI/Actions.png Action Areas Four logos depicting the areas in which Down syndrome BC will focus on making change: health, early intervention, education and community https://www.downsyndromebc.ca/board-of-directors daily 0.75 2025-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f91ec6bf050df2a75b0ce91/1618166534732-OWBWECTSP2I7X3YL0RJ6/katiecrossphotography-100_websize%281%29.jpg Board of Directors A white woman with blond hair wearing a black t-shirt sits next to her tween son who has a bald head, is wearing a grey t-shirt and has Down syndrome.
