Jihad “Jad” Issa is a loving husband and father. His son, Sader, is currently in dental school. Neither Mr. Issa’s wife nor son have Down syndrome. According Sader, his father having Down syndrome has made his life better- full of love and joy- and that his father is the main supporter of his family, financially and emotionally. One might assume that because Mr. Issa has Down syndrome and his wife does not, that he has been taken advantage of. He wants to let the world know that that is not true, and that he and his wife are both equal in their relationship.
