Mission
To design, create, and deliver specialized clothes for injured soldiers.

Background
Sew Much Comfort began in response to a need on Ward 57 at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital in D.C. Injured soldiers are coming back from the Iraq war requiring extensive medical care to recover from their orthopedic injuries. The only clothing they have to wear over the splints and specialized "fixators" is a hospital gown. These gowns left our brave soldiers with less than adequate clothing to wear as they recovered from their injuries.

They are sewing adaptive clothing for each soldier to wear. Their goal is to have two pants and 6 boxers for each patient. The pants are VERY easy to sew and take about 1½ hours to make.

They use a standard pattern and are adapting it to fit around the "fixators". The need for adaptive clothing is growing faster than the core group can handle.

Sew Much Comfort is seeking your help with donations to buy the materials to make and ship the clothing. More importantly, they find that our soldiers love this clothing: demand has exceeded supply, so they need volunteers to help make the clothing to keep up with the demand.

Your help is needed! It is private donations like yours that are critical to sustaining the Sew Much Comfort mission. ALL donations will be used to directly support the Sew Much Comfort mission which is to provide needed adaptive clothing to our brave soldiers while they recover from their injuries.
