LDCF LLLDAM 2026 Merch Shop Is Open!

April's Limb Loss & Limb Difference Awareness Month is almost here, and we’re celebrating with something special: our limited‑edition LDCF 2026 merchandise shop, created in partnership with Blink Tees, a local print shop that shares our commitment to community, visibility, and joy.

This temporary shop is the only place to order this year’s shirts, sweatshirts, and pullovers—and it’s only open March 13 through March 31.

Why this merch feels meaningful

Every April, the limb difference community shows up with so much heart. Families, kids, adults, friends, and supporters come together to celebrate identity, connection, and the many ways people with limb differences move through the world with strength and joy.

This year’s merch was designed to reflect that spirit—bright, bold, and rooted in belonging.

As a fun addition, we also created a special badge-style shirt to celebrate our favorite three‑legged wolf at Brookfield Zoo - Vivilette! With a little help from AI, we designed a playful emblem that honors her spirit and the joy she brings to our annual meet‑up. You’ll see this badge featured throughout our April celebration and at the Zoo event.

A significant portion of proceeds supports the work of Limb Difference Collective, helping us:

• Create inclusive meet‑ups and events

• Build resources for families

• Amplify community voices

• Grow the annual Brookfield Zoo Meet‑Up

• Continue developing programs that center representation and connection

When you wear your LLLDAM gear, you’re not just showing support—you’re helping us build something meaningful together.

What’s available

The shop includes:

• Kids T‑shirts

• Adult T‑shirts

• Adult sweatshirts

• Adult 1/4 zip pullovers

All items are printed locally through Blink Tees and made to order during this limited window.

Delivery & pickup options

Once LDCF receives the apparel after April 13, you can choose:

• Shipping

• Local delivery within a 10‑mile radius of Roselle, IL

• Pickup at the LLLDAM 2026 Illinois Brookfield Zoo Meet‑Up on April 25

If you plan to pick up at the Zoo, we encourage you to register for the event - if you haven't done so yet - so we can plan accordingly. We’ll have a dedicated pickup area near the picnic tables by the playground near the Big Cats and Dolphins.

A huge thank‑you to Blink Tees

We’re incredibly grateful to Blink Tees for helping us run this shop and for supporting our mission with so much care. Their team prints everything locally and handles the production process that makes this fundraiser possible.

Thank you for supporting this community

Every purchase helps us continue building spaces where families feel seen, supported, and celebrated. We’re so grateful for the excitement around this year’s merch and can’t wait to see everyone wearing their gear throughout April—and especially at the Zoo!

The shop closes March 31, so be sure to place your order before the window ends.
