Letter to Clothing Manufacturers

[Guest guest]

Below is the letter that I've been sending to the clothing

manufacturers that have websites with e-mail addresses (which is most

of them!):

I am writing to you on behalf of parents who have children with

special needs for clothing. My son, now 6 months, was born with

Clubfoot. His treatment has included serial casting on both feet,

and now he is in special shoes. The shoes he wears are connected by

a bar at the bottom of his feet, keeping his legs shoulder width

apart. He wears the shoes full-time, with reduced wear in the near

future.

As you can imagine, finding clothing to work with both the casting

and the shoes has been a challenge.

I wanted to implore you to please make more sleep and plays without

feet and that have snaps going all the way down both legs for other

parents with similar situations.

One out of a thousand babies each year are born in the US with

clubfoot. Additionally, many children are born each year with other

special needs that also require special clothing.

Although the summer line will work for us, prior to now, we have been

largely unable to purchase your products. I have looked at them, and

thought that it would have been great to buy certain items, but

ultimately have had to continue looking for other clothing lines with

the features we needed.

If you can please look into this, I'm sure there are many other

parents who would appreciate it as well.

Thank you.
