It's all coming together...

When I formed this idea a few months ago, I didn't know how it would work out. You know that feeling? Big ideas, big dreams, but how does it become a reality? We've slowly gotten the word out, and donation boxes were placed. After a few weeks, they began to fill. My first inventory was promising. I ended up with 58 pairs of shoes that could be "rehomed" to people in need. It's not a huge number, but that is still 58 men, women and children that will have a decent pair of shoes on their feet as the weather starts cooling.

I sent out the inventory to several organizations at the end of last week. I had three that responded and were happy to have anything that I could provide. Today, I made my first delivery. As I walked up to the entrance of the Winston Salem Rescue Mission, my heart was full. I may not be dropping off much, compared to larger organizations. But, the heart of myself, and of my small boys are in every pair of shoes we have collected and inventoried. I'm teaching my boys a lesson on giving. They may be too young to fully comprehend, but I hope this is something they will grow with. I hope they fully realize the impact they can make, no matter how small the deed.

So, for this, I thank you. Your donations are making an impact, one person at a time.  Your old shoes are taking on "new life".  <3 Christine
