Dear Friends,
This Year, you can change the life of a blind child by donating a Pediatric Belt Cane by Safe Toddles. Recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Pediatric Belt Cane is a wearable cane that empowers blind children in ways unimaginable until its recent invention. For the first time in history, blind toddlers wearing their Belt Canes can safely walk, run, and explore.
There is a profoundly positive link between blind infants wearing Pediatric Belt Canes (safe mobility) and building self-confidence and improved learning!
· A recent study revealed that before wearing a Belt Cane, blind children aged one to four years spent 65% of their time sitting quietly.
· When wearing Belt Canes, these same children now spend 78% of their time walking and playing.
· The Belt Cane is a revolutionary advancement in blind toddler safety and mobility and yet far too few families know about the dramatic improvement in walking their blind toddler can achieve when wearing their Pediatric Belt Cane.
· The Belt Cane is the only mobility tool that addresses the diversity, equity, and inclusion needs of toddlers born blind.
Meet Jocelynn, a vibrant three-year-old, born with impaired vision that made it unsafe for her to walk independently. For two years, her parents watched her struggle, wondering if there was any way to help their daughter to walk safely, confidently and independently.
· Then, Jocelynn’s life changed, thanks to a donated Safe Toddles Pediatric Belt Cane.
· Her mom said it was like watching her baby girl finally discover her world walking, independently and free from fear.
We are proud of the hundreds of Belt Canes we have put around blind toddlers’ waists and the positive impacts of the Belt Canes on their lives. There is still so much more to do. Our work is to reach as many blind infants as possible whose lives could be forever changed for the better by wearing Safe Toddles Pediatric Belt Cane as they take their first steps and every step thereafter.
· Tens of thousands of blind toddlers live in a world without safe and independent mobility.
· We are working tirelessly to distribute Belt Canes worldwide and forever improve the lives of blind toddlers.
· Your donations help us provide Safe Toddles Pediatric Belt Canes and training curriculum at no cost to families in need.
Will you be their champion and support Safe Toddles’ efforts to bring safe walking to blind toddlers everywhere?
· A monthly donation of $24 a month ensures a blind child grows up with a new medically necessary Pediatric Belt Cane every year.
· A one-time donation of $289 donates a medically necessary Pediatric Belt Cane set (two frames/one belt) to a blind child today.
· A one-time donation of $589 donates a medically necessary Complete Pediatric Belt Cane set (two frames/one belt) with six hours of wrap-around support for the family to integrate the Belt Cane into everyday activities.
· Your generous gift of any amount will forever contribute to enriching the life of a toddler born blind– your gift will help them start traveling safely down the path of life!
All donations will put a Safe Toddles Pediatric Belt Cane on blind children in need. Please help bring safe walking to Jocelynn and all the children in need of a Belt Cane just like her.
The Pediatric Belt Cane combs the path ahead, preventing collisions and making the playground a much friendlier place to explore. In the video, we watch Marsa, age 3 and born blind, not only enjoying walking and running on the playground, but also safely sliding down the slide! In the video, we also see Jocelynn finding the wall and safely navigating her way independently down the hall. Wearing their Pediatric Belt Canes, both toddlers now walk and explore all the time, joining in the fun with less hesitation. Donate to Safe Toddles to provide more Belt Canes to blind toddlers everywhere to give them the safe mobility needed to explore their world.

Your generous gift of any amount will forever contribute to enriching the life of a toddler born blind– your gift will help them start traveling safely down the path of life!
