Help me create jobs for people living in extreme poverty

Hi all,

I wanted to do something good and make the world a better place. When I found out that 900 million people around the world live on less than $1.90 per day, with 400 million of them children, I knew I had to help.

That's why I am hosting a shoe drive to provide new and gently worn shoes to the non-profit Soles4Souls. Soles4Souls creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world.

Their campaign to get shoes to people in need provides long-term solutions to global poverty. New and gently worn shoes will help entrepreneurs in places like Haiti, Honduras and Sierra Leone start and sustain small businesses (a micro-enterprise) to generate income for themselves and their families.

But I need your help to ship the shoes to Soles4Souls.

Check out my fundraising page to help off-set shipping costs and please consider making a donation to help me give shoes to those who need them most.

Give today.

Giving online is easy and fast, and your support will make a real difference. I appreciate your help!
