My Nonprofit Reviews

As a Social Worker for 21 years, I have witnessed countless students go without appropriate shoes due to poverty. They come to school daily grimacing in pain due to too small shoes or embarrassment due to the condition their shoes are in. To work with an organization that understands this essential need and works tirelessly to ensure that all students have appropriate shoes that actually fit their feet exhibits the highest act of kindness. The staff are professional, organized, energetic, eager, and committed to their mission. Our students, who received shoes exhibited pride as they wore them and the sincerest gratitude for this gift. We have missed interacting with our students in person for 13 months and were aware that some of our students would have needs but we were not prepared for the insurmountable number of students who desperately needed shoes. Students during this period increased 1-3 shoe sizes but parents were unaware because students were in the house wearing, socks, slides, house shoes, or no shoes at all. We have 19 schools within our community of school, and we are delivering shoes to our schools daily based on demand. Thankfully for Shoes that Fit partnerships with generous donors who supplied a huge number of shoes we were able to create a shoe locker and upon request for shoes can provide shoes to students in need the same day. Thanks to the generosity of organizations who donated money for shoes our students feel valued, supported, cared for, and now seen posing in their stylish shoes. Thank you for being a true difference maker. No more grimacing only smiles thanks to each of you!
