I am a home instruction teacher for a large school district. I was given a child to homeschool that has autism and his parents have had a very hard time finding him socks he will keep on his feet to wear due to texture, material issues he has. He would get so upset that there were days I had trouble teaching him because he was so fixated on unhappy he was wearing the socks his parents had given him. I said to myself, why not get him to try the Pacas socks I bought my boyfriend for Christmas last year that he loves so much from your company. They are made with the finest alpaca wool, so very soft to the touch, warm, and comfortable. I wasn't sure how his mother would react to this but I just gave it a go. She ok'd me in purchasing the socks and I also bought myself a pair because we were going to try them on together and was so very excited about that. I received the package a week later and excited to bring it to him. I waited to open it in front of him so we both are involved in this new sock journey. I open the package and take out his pack of socks. He was smiling from ear to ear. I proceeded to tell him to feel them, put the one sock over your hand to feel inside. He was so excited and couldn't believe how soft the sock was. He proceeds to put them on and wow... I had tears in my eyes...he turned to his mother and told her how great they felt, how all socks should be like this and he's never taking them off...she had tears in her eyes, too. Netherless, we had a very good home school instruction due to him feeling good about himself and he was wearing socks that didn't trigger any defiant behaviors due to the texture or materials used to make his previous socks. I was overjoyed knowing that I have truly made a difference in his and his family's life due to quick thinking and helping a student whom is just so precious to me. Being his teacher has brought me so much joy and I know I have given him that as well. Thank you Pacas for your amazing socks...and my student says thank you, too!
