| To
whom this may concern,
I am writing to you about your original krazy straw cups.
I am just thrilled to be able to tell you what this has
done for my son. Sebastian is an 11 year old little boy.
He has severe spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. He
really can't do much of anything himself. This cup has
given him such an amazing thing-- independence. Such a
victory for us. He has gained 11 pounds in the last 6
months--which has almost put him on a normal size on the
growth chart. I'm sure for some this is really no big
deal--but can you imagine being thirsty or hungry and
having to wait for someone to do it for you? I took the
cup to feeding disorder clinic with us--his Dr's. are
looking at it-to help some other kids. I have one everywhere
we go. I recommend this to others very strongly--first
because it works and secondly-its age appropriate looking(unlike
all the other types we have tried) actually it is the
top loop on the straw that does it. I wish you could see
the pride this has given him. I hope this letter leaves
you felling wonderful--because you made a difference in
the life of a child! Thank you so much for making these
cups and taking the time to read this.

THANK
YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
Your
KRAZY STRAW SPORTS BOTTLE is a fabulous, miracle invention!
I have a nine year old daughter named Sarah. She has spastic
quadriplegic cerebral. I have been looking for eight and
a half years for A cup that she can use independently.
I have looked in every therapy catalog, every novelty
store and I have spent as much as thirty dollars plus
shipping for one cup. I am speaking from experience. The
hand of God guided the creator of this really neat sports
bottle! The special attributes of this cup are as follows:
THE
LID IS CONNECTED TO THE BOTTLE. IT CANNOT GET LOST
THE
STRAW WRAPPING SIDEWAYS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP ALLOWS
THE LIQUID TO STAY IN THE STRAW BETWEEN DRINKS. THIS ALLOWS
SARAH TO NOT WORK SO HARD
THE
STRAW CURVING DOWN INTO THE LID CREATES THE ULTIMATE HANDLE-ALSO
WITH THE HANDLE ON THE TOP SARAH DOES NOT TIP THE CUP
SIDEWAYS.
THE
ANGLE Of THE STRAW SPOUT IS TRULY PERFECT! IT SEEMS AS
THOUGH IT WAS CUSTOM MADE FOR SARAH. THIS IS THE FIRST
CUP SHE CAN ALSO USE OUT OF HER WHEELCHAIR JUST RELAXING
ON THE COUCH.
THIS
IS A VERY SPILL-PROOF CUP.
THE
STRAW ITSELF IS VERY DURABLE. SARAH BITES MOST STRAWS
UNINTENTIONALLY. THOSE "SUPER SIPPER" BENDABLE
STRAS JUST CAN'T HOLD UP. YET WE HAVE BEEN USING THE SAME
KRAZY STRAW BOTTLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
LASTLY,
IT LOOKS FUN! IT DOES NOT LOOK GEEKY AND THERAPEUTICAL.
SARAHS FRIENDS THINK IT IS COOL.
I
sincerely hope you will consider expanding your market
to include special populations? You have a wonderful product
that could benefit many people. Until we tried your bottle,
Sarah would barely drink 4 ounces at a time, now she will
drink three full bottles consecutively. She is very happy
that she doesn't need any help and there is no greater
gift to any child than independence! Hopefully I can send
you a picture of Sarah using her sport bottle, but please
enjoy this recent school photo.
Bless
you all!
Very
Greatfully Yours

Dear
Erik:
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My
two youngest boys went crazy when they saw the box of
Krazy straws and Krazy stuff. They loved everything and
are using it all to drink and eat these days. They have
also impressed their friends quite a bit.
Thanks
again,
Sincerely,
