My wife and I build dollhouses and donate them to Tennies for Tots for their periodic fundraisers. We met Paula Sedillo in 2021 and have since donated 9 dollhouses to Tennies for Tots. Paula is one of the hardest working people we know and the success of Tennies for Tots proves it. How she balances a full-time job with the many hours she invests into Tennies for Tots is one of the great mysteries of life. If you are looking for a charity where 99% of your donations go toward little people who need shoes, Tennies for Tots is the charity you want to give to. William and Nancy von Rohr

I am the Center Director, and we serve 40 families that have all been blessed by this program, the parents are always thankful for the shoes and the kids LOVE them! This is such a great program, and we are luck to be a part of it! Thank you!

Tennies for Tots has been such a treasure for our families. Their generosity of shoes and socks has helped support countless families who often go without to try and make ends meet. There is nothing better than watching our Head Start kids faces light up when they see their new shoes. Thank you Paula for all of your tireless work over these last several years. You truly have made a difference in the world!

Tennies for Tots has provided a bonding experience for me and my Special Needs daughter. We share time looking for the items Tennies for Tots can use. When Paula describes what Tennies for Tots, she only has scratched the surface. The organization has not only provided shoes and socks, but backpacks, books, hats and mittens and more importantly self-confidence and pride to little ones across a large geographical area of the county.
