New initiative...Help cure club foot TODAY!


Every year, 200,000 children are born in developing countries with club-foot. Untreated, that would be 2 million children with disabilities in the next 10 years. This is NOT a minor disability, yet it is a simple fix.
These children are seen as burdens on their families and are rejected by the community. At times, it has been said that they are cursed by the devil. They cannot walk to school to get an education, or contribute to their community. It is too difficult physically and emotionally.
25 Cloth is now partnering with an organization to help these children. This quarter, when you buy a shirt, you will also supply the cast materials for one child. With your purchase, a child will have the opportunity to heal properly and enjoy one of life's basic functions--to walk. Thank you for joining with 25 Cloth to make a difference.

My sister just had an ultrasound, and they detected a club foot. She's a rare carrier of Trisomy 18, also known as Edward Syndrome. We were so worried that her baby had that!

They are 95% sure that he is not a trisomy baby. Those are good odds, but there is still that 5%. We'll know for sure in a week and a half.

We will have to deal with the club foot. It looks painful! Everything I've read says that it's not painful. Only painful in the teen years if gone untreated.

Just imagine Dear Friend, if you had twisted your ankle for just one day, just how painful it would be just to even get out of your bed or your chair. Now consider these poor children having to live with Clubfoot for the rest of their lives. And this is why We all must be on the look for any health issues in life..
