Shoes Shoes Shoes

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

I was curious, so I counted my family's shoe collections...

(and he can't even walk yet...)

What if your shoe collection looked like this...



...can you imagine?

300 million people can.

300 million people walk everywhere they need to go in bare feet, tough bare feet. They are forced to walk on dirt, rocks, glass, mud, disease, and anything else that falls on the ground. I mean, we are so spoiled, we even have shoes to wear in the house and shoes to wear when we swim in the lake.

How can you help make this ratio a little more even? How can you provide shoes to everyone of those 300 million barefoot people?

Well, YOU can't...but WE can.

Go here and donate a measly $5 for 2 pairs of shoes to do your part in making that 300 million number disappear into a zero.

This organization is great. They have done so much good in so many people's lives and they want to do more. And they can't unless they have your help.

Talk about this to your kids, your parents, your friends, your co-workers, your church family. Get everyone involved. Get involved yourself.

The goal of this campaign is to get 50,000 pairs of shoes in 50 days for those 300 million people who need shoes.

That's a lot of shoes but a very obtainable goal. But it is unattainable without you. So get involved.
