Media kit 20013
2013
Dear Friends of the Media, If you find yourself in possession of this kit for the first time I welcome you. We often try to extend ourselves to different media outlets and are grateful when members of that circle take notice. Alphae Toys was created five years ago when my son was diagnosed with a complicated form of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) or more commonly known as club foot. I wanted to create a line of special needs toys that were not only eco-friendly, but also within my budget. After many years of therapy and a finalizing surgery I began research into special needs toys. Many parents I have spoken to and have worked with feel cornered by the special needs toy market. It seems as if the companies do not undrestand what parents are looking for, or understand the fact that parents are already under the intense financial burdern of medical bills. They do not need another expense. By creating toys the parents need, but can not afford, companies are creating an endless cycle of need. Alphae Toys changes this by creating toys that are useful, beautiful, eco-friendly, and also budget friendly. Alphae toys is also committed to advocating for the special needs community, and provides information for families in rural areas. The mission is to advocate in order to educate, and to create a sense of empowerment for families who may feel at a loss due to a lack of resources. For any further questions, information, or original content feel free to contact me at d.montalvo@alphaetoys.com. Thank you for the support.
Sincerely, Danielle

“I love all of Alphae Toy’s products. They are modern and fun, and best of all I don’t have to worry about chemicals or junk. It seems like toys now a days are so uninspired and keep kids from doing the one thing they should be doing, playing. Alphae Toys is changing all of that. “ -Dannielle, repeat customer and “The favorite Aunt”
