Another Friday is finally here! Along with it, are unsurpassed feelings of gratitude and accomplishment. If you thought Wrap Buddies was sensational- just wait until you see what we’ve done now!
Once upon a time, a young girl contacted us at Wrap Buddies, she had to wear a brace due to her scoliosis and wanted to know if there was anything we could do to make it look better. Naturally, we welcomed the opportunity and had the chance to fancy up her brace with a nifty wrap. Along the process, we found out she was a patient at the Scottish Rite Hospital. This particular hospital is a non-profit center that specializes in pediatric orthopedics. We felt that combining our powers with theirs, great things would come about. Sure enough, one of the doctors from the hospital referred 9th grader, Hope, to us.
When we heard that Hope would be coming in last Friday to get her prosthetic legs wrapped, we didn’t know what to expect. Hope was born with spina bifida and consequently had to wear braces her whole life, in order to walk. At the age of 13, both of her legs had to be amputated and replaced with prosthetic legs. We heard she hadn’t gone to school in over a year because (as most of us can remember) teenagers can be cruel and insensitive. I asked to myself, “How in world could anyone have the nerve to try and make her feel bad?” This question only intensified when I finally met Hope. Here in front of us was a gorgeous, sweet, young girl with an equally kind and beautiful family. Well, that’s why here at Wrap Buddies we have decided to take this matter into our own hands with the help of 360 Wraps. Like... said “All that is needed for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.”
When we got her legs wrapped, everyone agreed that we had to get her in front of our camera lens. We set her up with some funky, bright colored shoes that were donated to Hope by Yums Shoes! We would like to give a big shout out and thanks to the generous crew over at Yums, as they are partnering with us on more future Wrap Buddies projects. Then we engaged in a full blown photo-shoot. The only thought intensifying in my mind by this point? “This girl is a star.”
She posed, flung her hair, shot the camera alluring looks, and pretty much behaved as though she was born to model. Her photos, by no surprise to anyone, were stunning. Hope has aspirations of being a model and we think she has what it takes. If you have a company or know someone with a company that is looking for a model, please contact us and we can get a hold of Hope and her family for you.
So not only did Hope come in for a wrap, but she brought her ever so cute little sister Chloe. Chloe is 4 years old, she was also born with spina bifida. Although we didn’t have a brace, or a band to wrap, naturally we had to find something! Take a look at the new and improved pink designs we applied on her wheelchair. Chloe might also be well on her way to Hollywood. I was told to go ask her to give me her flirty eyes, and she looked up at me with a big a mischievous grin and repeatedly raised both eyebrows. It was the highlight of my day. As it would have been yours, if you had been there!
