I love shoes...


If you know me well at all, you know that I have a somewhat sick passion for shoes. I have more shoes than I care to admit. Buying, wearing, and trying on shoes are by far my biggest guilty pleasures. So imagine my excitement when I found tomsshoes.com. This is a company that puts shoes on the feet of children in poverty. When you buy a pair of their shoes a pair is donated to the kids that live in the village where they are made.

This is exactly what I want to do for the kids at the dump in Nicaragua. I contacted the owner of the company to see how I could get involved and low and behold he responded. Not only did he respond, but he said we could set something up so that the kids at the dump get shoes.

Check out his website...www.tomsshoes.com. I will update you on the status of the kids at the dump getting shoes and how you can be involved.

I am beside myself with excitement...
