Starting off with a bang!

As of January 6, 2025~182 children are sponsored!

What a wild year!

We had SO many new volunteers this year including more student groups! It is fabulous watching the teens be as enthusiastic as the children we are serving!

As of December 2024, SIX schools were fully funded!  (total 3,198 students and also our small celebration recipients).  

One school was even funded in less than a month-over half of that school was funded in 24 hours!  

Super year!  We had over 100 NEW volunteers.  As of December 2023, THREE schools were fully funded!  (total 2054 students and 54 small celebration recipients)

This was such an amazing year!

As of December 2022, SEVEN Schools were fully funded!  (total 4009 students and 47 small celebration recipients) 

After 2 years of adaptation, we were ready to expand again and sponsor THREE elementary schools! 

Goal:  Three Elementary Schools

As of May 2021, ONE School was fully funded!  (615 students)

As of August 2021, TWO Schools were fully funded and 1 small celebration!  (total 1345 students and 21 students)

As of October 2021, THREE Schools were fully funded!  ( total 1922 students )

As on November 2021, FOUR Schools were fully funded! (total 2481 students)

As of December 2021, FIVE Schools were fully funded!  (total 3281 students and 58 small celebration recipients) 

Yet again, 2020 looked different for us because of the changes created in response to the pandemic.  Again, we adapted and we delivered 208 pairs of shoes to 5 area schools.

2019 looked different for us because of last minute policy changes in our sponsored schools.  We adapted and provided two elementary schools with 386 pairs of shoes.

Our children at our two sponsored elementary schools were so excited to see us again!  This year we gifted 1,264 pairs of shoes!  

2016: We sponsored our FIRST elementary school with 505 pairs of shoes!  What an unforgettable day.

2017: We expanded and sponsored TWO elementary schools with 1,192 pairs of shoes.  SO many feet!
