One Sunny Day in 2019, I and my partner Calvin went to visit some friends and their kids. After arriving, we asked where are the kids? In the back room playing with company was the reply. So we decided to go to the back room to say hello to the children,. Parents had just purchase some Knew Plush Animals,which the girls we enjoying. As we approached the door and observed the children playing. we observed a littgle girl with her back to us, deciding on the doll she wish to play with. Something just didn't seem right. The little girl with her back to us, picked up a Old Wornout, One Eyed Dirty Koala Bear. As we stood in observation whatching, the little girl took the doll and began to feel it with her hand, put it up to her face, and hugging it in a motherly fashiondiscovering the Koala only had One Eye. She put the doll to her face and cuddled it in a Motherly fashion, make a real connections.She announced excitinglyto the little girls playing with the new plushies; I WANT THIS ONE! The girls looked and started laughing. One child said; Why you want that old one eye Ugly thing? When we have New ones?. The little girl seemed irritated rsponding. I DON'T THINK SHE IS UGLY, AND OLD DOLLS NEED LOVE JUST AS MUCH AS THE NEW ONES. Realizing her tone, saw she was offended. We realized the little girl was blind, and made a connection mostlikely, because she herself was visual impaired.
The little girls, realizing how insensitive thay were apologized. Hugging both the little girl and the Koala doll, inviting them to play with them. The little blind girl stated; I THINK THIS ONE IS BEAUTIFUL. It was a touching experience, and we said our hellos and good byes. Communicating our experience with the parent's, informed us the little girl name was TRIXIE, On vacation from Kenya (Africa) for her birthday. Calvin being in the Greeting Card Business at the time, I informed him I like to give Trixie a Birthday Card. WOW!!! I knew he was creative, but was amazed with his creation. Neither of us knew much about Koala, but Calvin did some research, and educated me of how much Humans have in common with this animal. Calvin created a Childlike Featured Koala, placed eye lashes on it, placed a BIG FURRY NOSE which the Koala is known for, and decorated it with rhystones for Trixies sensory touch to identify. He also put a Title on it that read THROUGH LOVE I SEE. In Braille.
TRIXIE loved it, her smile was so warm and appreciative she hugged us both upon delivery. Never did I see a Greeting card such as this. I told Calvin I wanted to start a Greeting Card Line. And we decided to Created a Koala Creeting Card Line, for the blind and visually impaired. I could not get Trixie and the experience out my head. or heart, the One Eye doll gave such a Comfort to her, we Created a Therapeutic Trixie Koala Comforter. And this is how The Kubeba Koala Brand was Born.
