Will you help me? (Donation deadline: June 28)
I have a huge favor to ask, and I am hoping that you might be able to help me. As you know I am running in the Mrs. Idaho America Pageant (Mrs. Garden City). I am working with Dando Amor, Shoes for Love (http://shoes4love.wordpress.com/) and looking to collect a few thousand pairs of shoes by the end of June. If I can collect the most, I would have the GREAT honor of a humanitarian trip to personally deliver the shoes to Africa or South America.
When making your shoe donation if you can tie the laces to the matching ones when applicable. :) As noted below I am able to collect ALL shoes , ANY size, ANY kind, and in ANY condition. So go through those closets and gather all your unwanted shoes!!! :)
About Dando Amor
Dando Amor has spent the last 3 years visiting many different orphanages in South America and Africa. One thing we have found is that although the needs seem endless, there are some areas we can really make a difference! One of those areas is SHOES! So many kids go without a pair of shoes! In the USA alone we throw away over 680 million pairs of shoes every year. When we heard this statistic we knew we could make a difference. That is why we have stated our “Shoes for Love” drive. We have arranged large cargo crates to be able to ship shoes to many third world countries. We will take as many as we can with us on every trip we take…but the beauty of this shoe drive is that we will be able collect ALL shoes , ANY size, ANY kind, and in ANY condition. Whatever shoes we cannot take personally with us will be shipped and re-purposed in third would countries.
