Torbot Jobskin Division is driven by devastating events. The company makes compression garments mainly for burn survivors.
"After they begin healing, a lot of times in the burns, scars form and as scars form later in the healing process scars contract and when they contract it restricts mobility."
Each garment is custom fitted, sometimes with the help of a laser to meet the needs of a survivor to keep them mobile. No job is too small.
Torbot Jobskin Division sells garments all over the world including South America, Mexico, and Germany. Some people have never heard of the company.
Garments can cost survivors hundreds of dollars. But Vincent Casey's family won't pay a dime. Angie Zablocki says, "When I came into work, so many of my employees said, 'Hey, did you watch the news? There's a burn in Toledo.' And ironically that night I went to the ACBC meeting and we also discussed what we could do. So I talked with the owner and he said go ahead."
That go ahead means Vincent Casey will have all the garments he needs free of charge. Angie Zablocki believes in the garments. And she knows the difference it can make for Vincent.
This isn't a first for the company. The Torbot Job Division also provided free garments to World Trade Center survivors.
Vincent Casey was released from the hospital Tuesday. Doctors say he won't be able to have fun in the sun this summer. His orders are to avoid the sun. His mother tells me she is touched by the generosity of this community.
