The Podnar family is embarking on an inspiring journey, one that beautifully weaves together the threads of restoration, family bonds, and advocacy.

Through our page, we invite you to join us in our endeavor to renovate a charming chateau, a task that promises to be as exciting as it is challenging. However, our journey is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s a heartwarming exploration of love and acceptance. The youngest member of our family, Janez Elija, who has Down syndrome, brings a unique and beautiful perspective to our lives. With this page, we aim to shed light on Down syndrome and encourage understanding and inclusion. Our story is a testament to the transformative power of love and unity.

We extend a warm welcome to everyone who has chosen to be a part of our journey, as we share our experiences and insights, making a positive impact on the world one post at a time. Together, we are building more than just a chateau; we are constructing a brighter, more inclusive future for all.

And we are most definitely “down for a castle”.
