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

***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.
