I showed the resulting smock to friends, who loved it, and my project, Sophie's Smocks, named after my granddaughter, was born so that many kids with AS could have a free smock. I buy new and gently used turtlenecks and trim. Supporters donate their time to cut and sew, and their money for postage and materials to keep the project ongoing. All the smocks are FREE for children or older with AS. I make child size 6 to adult XL. To get a smock, all you have to do is ask by emailing smocks@cox.net. Give me your child's shirt size plus a name and mailing address including zip. I'll send one as soon as I can. There's no catch and no obligation. Though I accept donations, the smocks are free.

Storme is such a joy to be around! I have always admired Michelle. I know it has to be hard sometimes. She loves Stome like no other. Michelle is very dedicated to FAST and winning this money for a cure not just for her angel but she wants it for all the special angels. Its so simple to help. It just takes a second of your time to vote each day. It doesnt cost a dime. If you vote and share with your friends Angelmans can win this money.

Try to put yourself there and walk in those shoes when you have this beautiful 11 month old precious girl in your arms and.... But Storme is beautiful and so loved by her Mom and grandparents.
