Welcome to a support network created by a parent in Ireland for people who are affected by Talipes / Clubfoot!

 

This site is created to bring people together world wide to form a Talipes support network. It will not offer you medical expertise. It will however offer practical help and information from others going through the same as you.

 

How to get started

 

1 - Update your profile page with some information and a profile photo.

2 -Introduce yourself by going to the Forum page. Tell us a bit about yourself and what brings you here!

3 - Catch up with Louis' story. A little boy with bilateral congenital talipes being treated in Ireland.

4 - Share helpful hints. You probably have something very useful to share with others to make coping with talipes easier.

5 – Add a discussion if you have a question for other TT members or just some food for thought!

6 - Start a blog! This is where you can share your own experiences and add to it as time passes, like a diary.

7 - Add photos and videos.

8 - Click on the banner below to help raise funds for Talipes Together when you shop from UK based online stores! A quick and easy way of helping us keep this website open!

***Help***

Steps South Aftica is calling for donation help for a little boy with club feet.

Arto Lekhgato is a cute little boy who lives with his mom and two older siblings in Otse, Botswana.

Arto was born with bilateral clubfeet and although he had some early casts applied at his local clinic, his feet remain uncorrected.

Time is not in his favor as he is almost 18 months old.  
He should be walking by now and he isn't, which is hard on his mother and of course on him, although he doesn't realize what he is missing yet.

The Ponseti method is not available in Botswana yet, but we have found help in Cape Town to correct Arto's feet so he can live a life free from disability. We need to cover some of costs for his long journey:

- Travel from Gaborone to Cape Town for Arto and his mom
- Local transport in Cape Town
- Special foot abduction brace (shoes and bar) to maintain correction and prevent relapse
- Sustenance for Arto and his mom for the long journey and stay in Cape Town

Having access to the Ponseti treatment for clubfoot will be life changing for Arto and his family.

Your donation will give Arto the gift of straight and supple feet, so that he can walk and run like any other kid.

Link to STEPS page on Greater Good SA to make a donation.
