A Very Special Girl With A Very Special T-Shirt

September 26, 2007 by Susan

Earlier this month we ran a review and giveaway for the adorable Bitty Braille handmade t-shirts. And one of our fellow bloggers, Erna from Sweet Serenity, let us know about a little girl who truly deserves one of these precious braille t-shirts.

Ivey in her Bitty Braille T-ShirtIvey is a beautiful little girl who has been handed a tough set of obstacles to overcome.

She has a “rare genetic syndrome as a result of a deletion in her 21st chromosome. She has anophthalmia, which means that she was born without eyes. She also has a trach and a feeding tube.”

But God has granted her many blessings and you can read more about Ivey’s life at her blog.

When Erna saw the cute Bitty Braille t-shirts, she immediately thought of Ivey and knew that Ivey would be blessed by a braille shirt of her own.

The wonderful folks at Bitty Braille agreed that Ivey should definitely have a shirt, and they lovingly donated a custom printed “Ivey” t-shirt to her.

You can see a sweet video of Ivey showing off her t-shirt on her blog.

Thank you to Erna and Bitty Braille for adding an extra reason to smile for Ivey and her family.

    I’m so delighted to see Ivey in her shirt. I first saw it on Ivey’s blog. What a surprise to see that she didn’t get just any shirt but one with her name on it! Too cool!
