According to the 2009 Annual Report from the American Printing House for the Blind, there are approximately 59,355 legally blind children in the U.S.
Many of you are familiar with TOMS shoes (check out our post on how to braille your TOMS!) but did you know that the TOMS One for One Movement has extended to help people in need of eye surgery, glasses, or medical treatment all over the world? YES! Just another reason to love Blake Mycoskie and grab a new pair of shades! TOMS chose to tackle the sight problem for a number of reasons, but we at Sensory Sun love "Reason #3 - Sight Means Education and Opportunity." We are aware of the obstacles of living with vision impairments in our visual world, so if someone out there has the chance to see, then thank you TOMS for giving them the chance!

TOMS Shoes with Braille!
OK, so I love to shop, especially for my daughter - what mom doesn't? I finally found a local store carrying kids sized TOMS SHOES!! After figuring out her size, I wasn't left with many 'girly' options color-wise (the silver sparkles weren't in stock in her size), but I settled on a cute pair navy/purple/white painted, size 9 Tiny TOMS. My little girl has little feet!
Well I love the mission of the TOMS company to give a pair to a child in need for every pair purchased, and it's only a plus to the fact that TOMS are easy to personalize! I hurried home to make a one of a kind pair of shoes for my sweet darling.
I used Glitter Glue and Swarovski Crystals to spell "Madilyn" in bling-y braille dots. It's always bothered me that braille dots have to be so uniform and somewhat 'boring' compared to all the beautiful and fun fonts we print all over our world, so I'm so pleased with my creativity in making Braille Bling! Hmm... maybe that can be the name of one of Sensory Sun's product lines... Okay, so here is what I have so far. I also painted a sweet glittery heart under her name. I haven't yet committed to what design I'll put on the left shoe. I'm up for ideas! What do you think about "Walk by Faith" from the heartfelt Corinthians verse?
If you want to order a pair, or two or three, of TOMS with braille crystal designs (or I can do boyish, too), just email me today! EMAIL: bviresearch@gmail.com
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7
