This 3-Year-Old With Cerebral Palsy Is Spreading Awareness In Style – Huffington Post

Smallwood told The Huffington Post she originally started herblog, fifiandmo.com,because she felt isolated as a new special needs mom. Her mission has since blossomed into an opportunity to spread awareness, connect with families that have similar stories and raise funds to alleviate the costs associated with Finleys therapies and surgeries. Smallwood predicts on her website that Finley will needdozens of surgeries before she turns 15.

Finley and her mom are often photographed in adorable T-shirt outfits, and its no coincidence: partnering with small shops that make shirts is one way theyve built their audience tonearly 60,000 Instagram followers.The brands share images of Smallwood and Finley wearing their shirts, often prompting other mothers reach out to Smallwood to share their stories.

They would DM me and say My kid has a walker, too, she said. So it became a great passion for me to get our pictures shared, and it worked amazingly.

These two are spreading awareness, boosting small businesses, and doing it all in style. But while Smallwood told The Huffington Post they love wearing mommy-and-me T-shirts, Finleys favorite outfit is either pajamas, or anything with a tutu!
