One Year Anniversary

Happy One Year Anniversary Team Russcher!
 
On August 11, 2014 we officially announced the creation of Team Russcher to our friends and family on Facebook!
 
Here's a look back at our first year:
 
We began making feeding tube gear for our sweet Allison Ruth while she was still in the NICU.  Over the next few months our products were tweaked as she grew and her needs changed.  In August, we launched Team Russcher to help us raise money for our trip to Johns Hopkins for Alli's treatment.  We were able to make our trip this past June!

One Year Anniversary
  
Team Russcher has given our family a way to support the special needs community by providing affordable gear that makes daily life a little easier and more comfortable.  Our cute designs and popular characters bring smiles to the faces of our special friends and their caregivers, and help make their medical needs more approachable.  In one year, Team Russcher has shipped more than 125 custom orders all over the United States and Canada!  Amazing!!
 
To keep up with our orders, we've expanded our work area from a small desk in the dining room of our house to an entire room!  Since Team Russcher was created for Allison, it only made sense that we should continue our work with her room as our studio, which we lovingly refer to as the Princess Cave.  The extra space has made us much more efficient while providing room to increase our fabric offerings.

One Year Anniversary
 
In the past several months, we have expanded from custom feeding tube gear to trach supplies and items to help support the breast feeding and cloth diapering communities!  We have also made adding ready-to-ship products a priority.  We are loving the variety in our shop, and we hope you are too! 
 
Team Russcher has also given me (Melanie) a way to be creative through all of the heartache of the last few months.  Tubie gear was my project with Allison - we used to sit together and work on orders every night.  We love our tubie friends, and I know she would want me to keep taking care of them! 
 
Celebrate our anniversary with us by taking 10% off your order of any amount from our Etsy shop with code: ANNIVERSARY  :)  But hurry - this offer is only good 8/11/15 - 8/14/15!

Please visit Allison's memorial foundation, the Princess Alli Foundation <3
