 As One, Two, Tie My Shoe followers should know, we are very interested in shoes and children around here! In light of that fact, we recently did some research into shoe charities that worked domestically. While TOMS shoes and other shoe charities are doing amazing things, we should not forget that there are people in our own United States that lack decent, healthy shoes.
Our searching led us to Sole4Souls, a shoe charity that works domestically in addition to internationally. Domestically, Soles4Souls provides shoes for disaster relief, the Appalachia Mountains region, summer camps for disadvantaged children, Navajo and Hopi Indian reservations, women domestic abuse shelters, inner city hospitals, and homeless shelters.
Across these areas of need, there are children that still don't have one decent pair of shoes for school. That is exactly why One, Two, Tie My Shoe was honored to donate 250 shoe tying kits to the organization. With our kits, we hope that perhaps a summer camp for disadvantaged children will be able to benefit and teach 250 children to tie their own shoes for the very first time!
We are grateful to have received a very thoughtful letter:
