Hello Oprah,
How are you doing? I know you don't know me from Adam, but I am a very big fan of yours. My friend Gail Warren suggested, maybe Oprah can help. I have ran into a major problem for my daughter, Britnee. She is 18 years old a senior in Pflugerville, Texas at Pflugerville High School and Prom is April 15th. I have been on this mission every since birth, weighing only 3lbs 13ozs and 16 inches long, has not been very easy dressing her or finding shoes to fit. Weighing only eighty-six pounds and 4'11 now size one shoe. By the way,she is through growing. My time is about to expire. I've driven to the malls, kids shoe stores and let my fingers do the walking in the yellows and all I get is good luck to you. I'd called Karavel Shoes and the guy said, oh yeah size one, I've heard about you. Thanks to my friend Fred Warren.
My next phone call is to Brucettes Shoes, Inc. in Houston, Texas. A pump size 21/2 with a T-strap at Movin Easy dance store in Austin was about the closest we came. The shoe was made in England but to large. Made in America she will wear a size 13 1/2 to size 1 in kids, which will be a size 1-2 in women. If you can help me find anything, I will be most grateful and happy. Thank You.
