After 2 years of adaptation, we are ready to expand again and sponsor THREE elementary schools!  I wonder if we can do more?!

Goal:  Three Elementary Schools

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

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

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

As of December 2021, FIVE Schools are 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!  

We expanded and sponsored two elementary schools with 1,192 pairs of shoes.  So many feet!!

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