Deborah Skouson's daughter Cami had a favorite shirt, a pink short-sleeved shirt with flowers made by Circo. Cami loved that shirt and wore it nearly every day, as happens sometimes in autism. Like all clothing, it wore out. Deborah bought another and another. Eventually, the shirt was no longer carried in her local stores. She felt fortunate to find them online, but after a while even that supply dried up.
Desperate, Deborah turned to Facebook and posted this plea.
The story went viral.
Within a couple weeks, over 150 shirts had been promised or had arrived at the Utah family's home. Most were from
total strangers from as far away as Germany.
In addition,
Target, the store chain where Deborah first found the shirt, has promised to make the shirt in various sizes so Cami can enjoy wearing it for years to come.
