My Nonprofit Reviews

Officiating the funeral of a 12 year old boy is something you never forget. Observing how his parents have turned their tragic loss into a great blessing for thousands of people is also unforgetable. You can read the inspiring story of the amazing launch, growth and impact of In Ian's Boots on their website. I would simply like to say that my observation of and all-too-limited involvement in this literal "Mom & Pop" love-juggernaut has powerfully impressed and impacted me. They have done so much with so little! Literally tens-of-thousands of shoes and boots have been provided to those in need, both locally and internationally. Ron & Holly, through their inexhaustable spirit, hope, commitment and hard work, have inspired and recruited a growing number of volunteers and team members who have, together, forged an incredibly efficient and effective organization. Summary: A worthy and inspirational work; born out of tragedy, fueled by vision, love and "blood, sweat and tears," making a huge difference in the world. And it's only just begun! I'm honored to be a part.
