Sew Much Comfort is a nationally recognized non-profit organization providing adaptive clothing free of charge, to wounded service men and women at every military hospital in the United States, Landsthul (Germany) and at Combat Surgical Hospitals overseas. We create and/or adapt clothing to meet the unique needs of the wounded. For many service members the only clothing available is a hospital gown. These gowns are drafty, do not cover properly and are impractical for optimum recovery. By creating custom adaptive clothing, our hope is to make their recovery more comfortable both physically and emotionally. Our clothing gives medical personnel and service members the ability to have ready access to their injuries by utilizing the adaptive openings in our clothing. Specially designed clothing permits easy access during their exams and physical therapy, as well as facilitating the difficult process of dressing themselves in their everyday life. Our clothing allows injured service members to easily dress themselves and their clothing appears as normal civilian attire which helps facilitate a more natural and comfortable recovery.
We are currently making clothing to fit over a fixator (36” metal halo that goes around an injured limb) devices for either arm or leg injuries. We also make and adapt full length access pants, basketball style athletic shorts, boxer shorts, and adaptive shirts to cover upper body injuries. These items are available for both men and women. Our copyrighted designs and instructions were created by working in conjunction with the medical staffs and the wounded service members.
Our volunteers remain the driving force behind our success. We are proud to say that with the help of our volunteers across the nation, Sew Much Comfort has provided more than 30,000 items of adaptive clothing since 2004. With increasing needs, our goal is to distribute 1000 pieces of clothing per week.
Sew Much Comfort is the only organization that provides specially designed adaptive clothing free of charge to military hospitals. The need for Sew Much Comfort will exist as long as there are injured service members returning from overseas conflicts. We want to thank all service members for their courageous and honorable service to our country. We understand their dedication to duty, honor, and country and want to show them in a tangible way how proud we are of the tremendous work they do for the cause of freedom at home and abroad.
