My Nonprofit Reviews

I work with a lot of homeless and single parents. When I call these parents, of students, that could use a little help with a pair of shoes, ALL they say is THANK YOU, and they want to know who are the people that, have opened their hearts to our families. I always say with pride, SHOES THAT FIT PROGRAM. I have many stories , that just break my heart. I have requested shoes for my students in our district, THey are given to us, with a smile and pride, JUST the smile of joy brings a fulfillment of my job.
These students come from living in a garage, to just having all their family staying a rented room. Some of the families I have given shoes to also live in hotel to hotel.
I have had kids tell me "it christmas" I have seen tears of joy. I had a few students say, "how much. My mom doesn't have money..... I just say "Enjoy they are yours" They then turn around and walk away with a smile.... Giving the kids what they need, is a better chance of higher self esteem, and they will LEARN more. I have had a pleasure working with all staff at SHOES THAT FIT. They are always so friendly. Everyone that works to provide for these kids, are a true blessing.
Thank you,
I look forward in working with them this year.
