Handmade memory teddy bears
Anja is the owner of Soft Stitch and has developed a concept where you can send clothes from your child or a passed loved one and she will turn them into an adorable teddy bear/elephant or whatever you desire.
The teddy bears are handmade, they are not intended as toys, but as an opportunity to preserve a touching memory of a loved one ❤️❤️❤️
Proudly supporting the CDG world
The World CDG Organization (WCDGO) is the collective voice and network for people living with CDG.
CDG stands for Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, which is a large group of rare inherited diseases that affect glycosylation. It affects cell function in most organ systems to varying degrees, so children will often show abnormalities in liver enzymes, digestion and absorption, glandular function (e.g. thyroid), blood coagulation and immunological function (susceptibility to infections).
WCDGO aims to change the world's understanding of CDG and advocate for those living with CDG to improve their lives and the lives of their families. They act by providing a strong unified voice to governments, researchers, clinicians and industry to advance research, diagnosis, treatment and services for CDG.

Agency exclusively representing people with disabilities
Kello Inclusive is a talent agency exclusively representing disabled, neurodiverse, and visibly different talent because the beauty of disabilities, diversities, and differences deserves to be represented fairly and fully.
A few years ago, after getting her disabled daughter involved in modeling, Katie MacMillan quickly discovered how unaccustomed the media & marketing world was to working with persons with disabilities and clearly saw the industry gap that existed for fair, tasteful, and professional representation of this underrepresented community.
Recognizing the importance of a world where the beauty of disability is represented fairly and fully, she founded Kello Inclusive - Canada's first fully inclusive, nationally incorporated, not-for-profit talent agency that represents, promotes, and advocates for disabled, neurodiverse, and visibly-different talent.
Helping a small community with special needs
Teach Rare began locally in the US by uniting their small community with the common goal of helping children succeed and develop.
Today they are joining forces with other communities with rare diseases and undiagnosed diseases. In addition, they support children with special needs.
