Online Meet-Up for People with Clubfoot
Hey everyone! My name is Goutham, and I’m about to turn 30. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how having clubfoot in both feet has shaped my life, in both positive and negative ways.
One of the hardest parts of growing up was feeling like this was something I had to confront alone. But as I get older, I’m realizing how many of us there are around the world. I’d love to create a space where we can meet each other and share our experiences.
I’d love to organize a relaxed Zoom call bringing together people born with clubfoot from different parts of the world. We could have a few people give short talks about their experiences, then split into smaller breakout rooms to get to know each other and share more personally.
I hope we can talk about the challenges we’ve faced and the wisdom we’ve gained through them, because so often, one grows out of the other. It's easy to sometimes feel like these experiences only leave us with challenges, but that doesn't have to be the case.
My hope is that by creating space for these conversation, we can also help those who come after us feel less alone in their journey with clubfoot/feet. Family memebers are also more than welcome!
Let me know what you think! If anyone would be interested in helping organize this event, I’d love to collaborate. And if you’d like to attend, send me your email in a message, or comment below and I can reach out to you.
Thanks, everyone!
