Fashion Forward Clothing for Kids with Medical Needs

This is an incredible story about making lemonade when life gives you lemons. In a freak accident more than a year ago, Laila Susini nearly lost her life. She was swinging on a porch swing, when the eyebolt that holds the swing together detached from the ceiling and went through her skull.

Doctors and nurses at Cedars Sinai Medical Center saved her life during a five hour operation. Today, Laila’s left arm is paralyzed, but she is forging ahead with a full life and a new fashion line. Her fashionable and comfortable clothing, called LATE Clothing LA, is intended to help other children who live with medical devices and need slightly reimagined clothing.

The clothing line is worth checking out, and the story of inspiration is worth reading.

Helping with Food Scarcity in Vermont

Here is a really nice story of giving. We all know that Vermont is a very cold place in the winter, and this is obviously an issue for people who are homeless. In Northfield, Vermont there is a sock company doing something about it. Darn Tough Vermont has been partnering with the Vermont Foodbank for many years. During COVID-19, they started making a special pair of socks with the sales from those socks going directly to the food bank. So far, they’ve been able to provide 925,000 meals to hungry people in Vermont with those sales.
