80-Year-Old Granny Dons A Mickey Mouse Costume Every Day To Make Ends Meet
An 80-year-old grandma from a small town of Dezhou, China is still hard at work to support her 58-year-old son who has Down syndrome. After her husband passed away due to a heart attack 20 years ago, Lee Ming had to step up as the sole breadwinner of the family.
Every day at the crack of dawn, she heads out the door in a Mickey Mouse costume. She makes her way to a park located 3 miles away by foot. Rain or shine, she waits for visitors who wants a picture with her, charging them 5 yuan ($0.71) each.
Taking photos, posing and talking to kids is all in a day’s work for her but little do people know, underneath that Mickey Mouse costume is a frail old woman.
Enduring the heat and standing all day long is hard enough for any youngster, let alone an 80-year-old grandma. No doubt, the job is taxing on her aging body but with no other means to support her family, she’s forced to put up with the pain.
A Chance Encounter That Gave Lee Ming A Glimmer Of Hope
Working as a mascot is no easy task. Especially with the nature of Lee Ming’s job where she’s required to stand and walk for long periods at a time. But the weight of the costume is so heavy that it makes it difficult for her tiny frame to hold up.
So, after a long hard day at work, she removed the mascot head and went to a nearby park bench to take a much-needed rest. This caught the eye of a stranger who couldn’t help but notice her limping feet. Curious, he approached her and asked what had happened.
That’s when he found out she suffered from chronic foot pains for over a decade. With all her earnings poured into caring for her son, she simply can’t afford surgery to fix her aching feet.
As luck may have it, this stranger was none other than Dr. Liu, a leading podiatrist in this field for well over 25 years. Touched by her story, Dr. Liu wanted to help get her back on her feet again, painlessly. So, he shared with her his recent breakthrough treatment.
“Your feet are the foundation for your entire body and the foundation of a well-supported foot is the arch.”
“The arch is the strongest part of your foot which is responsible in keeping your entire structure together.”
“In fact, the arch has been widely used in ancient architectures because they prove to be strong enough to support an extremely heavy load.”
“But just like a well-constructed bridge, a good foundation can only be achieved with the proper arch support.”
“Unfortunately, footwear companies don’t consider the arch of our feet when designing shoes.”
“So, when you start experiencing chronic pains in your feet, you’ll know that the arch of your feet has collapsed and it’s no longer able to support your body.”
“In your case, the arch has already collapsed which makes walking and standing for long hours very painful for your already aching feet.”
“To make matters worse, the heavy costume puts additional weight and pressure on your damaged feet.”
“When they’re overwhelmed by too much tension and stress, the bones in your feet causes the arch out of shape, losing its strength altogether.”
Introducing The ArchAid™ – The Ultimate Arch Support That Keeps You On Your Feet
After treating thousands of patients in his line of work, Dr. Liu concluded that foot pains can be eliminated by a simple fix to the arch of the foot because a solid foundation forms the basis of any well-constructed structure. This led Dr. Liu to create an ankle brace called ArchAid™ which gives the foot’s arch a firm support.
The ArchAid™ is made with a built-in compression technology that offers an instant and firm arch support. It acts as a cushion for your foot which allows the arch to be compressed back into its original shape. Thus, forming a solid foundation once again. Essentially, the weight that was borne by one part of the foot is now transferred across the rest of your foot. So, users can experience a relief in pain and swelling over time.
The ArchAid™ is specially designed to mould to the exact contours of your foot which is crucial in providing you with the extra support you need to withstand long hours of walking and standing. The adjustable straps also allow you to customize it according to your foot’s shape and size so you can experience the ultimate personalized comfort while restoring mobility.
Hearing this, Lee Ming was still unconvinced. How could a simple ankle brace help cure her decade-long illness? After all, doctors claimed that surgery is the only way to go. But with nothing to lose, she decided to give the ArchAid™ a try anyway.
A New Lease Of Life For Lee Ming
Much to her surprise, the ankle brace turned out to be everything she could’ve imagined and MORE! The swelling gradually went down and the pain subsided. She no longer needed to take frequent breaks to ease her foot pains. Thanks to the ArchAid™, walking was painless again.
“It’s hard to believe that my pain disappeared so quickly.”
“If only I had known about the ArchAid™ sooner, then I wouldn’t have had to suffer in agony for so many years.”
“Now, I put on the ArchAid™ every day before going to work as it helps me walk and stand for long hours without any pain.”

Lee Ming’s touching story went viral and people from all over the country go to the park just to visit her. In fact, she even earned the nickname ‘Mickey Mouse grandma’. Her dedication as a mother has warmed the hearts of netizens but none of this would be possible without the ArchAid™ which allowed her to continue working to earn a living for her family.
Ever since the news of ‘Mickey Mouse grandma’ surfaced online, people all around the world has been using the ArchAid™ to relieve their foot pains. Even athletes swear by it to reduce the risk of ankle sprains that come with every sport.
