| I don't know about AFOs but we sent our used DAFOs to Cascade http://www.dafo.com/contact-us/donating-braces/ . They partner with different groups and re-use them. If you go to Shoe Train to buy shoes, they will also re-purpose them. |

| 17:15 again. When I've sent the DAFOs to Cascade, I've also sent the shoes even though they don't request them. My DS has Fred Flinstone feet to begin with and with the DAFOs he's a regular Sasquatch. I figure that anyone they send them to will have a harder time finding shoes that fit than we did and would be happy to have the shoes as well. I do the same thing when I leave them at Shoe Train. |
