Recess is saved for nine-year-old Zoey Harrison, all thanks to the “bodycoat.”
Zoey has cerebral palsy and was having trouble staying warm outside during the winter. Her blanket would fall off and get caught in her wheelchair wheel or it would take too long to bundle up. The recess bell would ring by the time she got outside.
So her mom, Jennifer, invented the “bodycoat.” The video demonstrating how the outerwear works has been viewed over 11 million times.
The bodycoat costs between $115- $185 and is sold through Jennifer’s company X-Ability. Stock is already running low, and they are looking for an investor in order to produce more, Jennifer says.
But what’s most important is that Zoey is now able to get out and play with her friends every day at school. That for a mom is simply priceless.
