Thanks for all your Shoe Donations!


Thanks to all of you, I was able to collect 280 pairs of shoes to donate to those in need in Haiti. Bev, from Kenosha, was my biggest contributor donating 27 pair of shoes. As a special thanks, she will receive 2 hours of organizing services. 

I was collecting shoes in conjunction with NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizer). Our organization, to date, has collected over 260,000 pairs of shoes!

The majority of Haitians live in extreme poverty. Shoes not only help prevent the spread of disease, they also provide the person the chance to hold a job or attend school. (Yes, even children can be barred from attending school if they don't have shoes.) Thanks again for helping to provide opportunities for Haitians to better their lives!
