Laces of Love continues its mission of getting needy kids into new shoes Naples Daily News,[url=http://parajumpersonline.webmium.com/][b]Kodiak Jackets Online PARAJUMPERS[/b][/url]
It wasn't a love of shoes, but rather a love of children and the desire to help those in need that brought almost 100 women together for the Fourth Annual Laces of Love Girlfriend Shoe Party on a recent Sunday afternoon.
"A lot of us are mothers and grandmothers and we know all about shoes and kids outgrowing shoes and it kind of touches our hearts," explained attendee Jan Carlson, a retired hospice worker.
One hundred and fifty pairs of new shoes and more than $4,[url=http://parajumpersonline.webmium.com/][b]http://parajumpersonline.webmium.com/[/b][/url],200 were collected during the event, which was held at the home of Laces of Love President and co-founder Jeanne Nealon. The Girlfriend Shoe Party included a raffle and silent auction as well as emotional speeches by Nealon and others about the children whose lives have been touched by the gift of a brand new pair of shoes.
"It's a great event,[url=http://duveticaoutlet.albirank.net/][b]duvetica duvetica jackets outlet duvetica sport jacket duvetica mens clothing sale[/b][/url]," said Abby Fuller,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/[/b][/url], 29, a special education specialist at Mike Davis Elementary School. "The passion of the members and the Board of Directors is just overwhelming."
"I think it's a wonderful cause. And it's local," said Dena Landry, a school psychologist at Mike Davis and Manatee Elementary schools. "I've seen firsthand the living situations of these kids and the basic necessities that they don't have."
Laces of Love Charitable Foundation,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]2013 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes outlet sale[/b][/url], Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides new shoes to low income and disadvantaged children and educates the public about the needs of these children. Since it's incorporation in 2005, Laces of Love has provided more than 40,000 pairs of shoes to children in need throughout Collier and Lee counties.
Working primarily through the public school system, Laces of Love delivers shoes to a contact person, often a nurse, school counselor,[url=http://rogervivieroutlets.webmium.com/][b]roger vivier discount for Discount[/b][/url], principal or teacher, who fits children with the donated shoes in the privacy of the staff office. Laces of Love shoes are often the first pair of new shoes a child has ever had.
"We have kids that are wearing shoes two sizes too small and their poor little feet have toes pushing through the end and you can see each outline of their toe in the shoe,[url=http://duveticaukoutlet.halod.com/][b]Duvetica Down Jackets For Men Store[/b][/url]," said Kate Hahn,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutlets.webmium.com/][b]Giuseppe Zanotti shoes outlet sale[/b][/url], 35, a school counselor at Highlands Elementary School. "To be able to put something on their feet that's new, quality,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.gengfl.com/][b]Woolrich Deutschland Woolrich Arctic Jacket Online Shop Damen and Herren outlet deutschland[/b][/url], and not a hand-me-down,[url=http://merrellfootwearsizechart.webmium.com/][b]http://merrellfootwearsizechart.webmium.com/[/b][/url], they love you for it and they're so excited."
Karen Theis, 48, a teacher at Spring Creek Elementary School in Bonita Springs, explained that having a new pair of shoes that fit properly gives children an added level of confidence that helps them excel in all areas of life. "The level of confidence they have, each time they take a step,[url=http://discountmerrellshoes.webmium.com/][b]discount merrell barefoot shoes discount merrell shoes online shop[/b][/url], not only does it make them look better, but it makes them feel better and more confident in their own personality and their schoolwork and sports."
Laces of Love delivers shoes to the elementary, middle and high schools a couple of times throughout the year and also responds to special requests for specific shoes and sizes. They also facilitate the donation of cleats and sports shoes to many student athletes.
"We try to be anonymous. We don't go in and take a bunch of pictures,[url=http://parajumpersoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]http://parajumpersoutletitalia.albirank.net/[/b][/url]," explained Nealon, 52. Instead the group assembles brown grocery bags filled with shoes that have tags on them explaining the mission of Laces of Love and the fact that the shoes are free.
"A lot of the kids ask how much they owe me," said Aisa Gonzalez, 42, a migrant resource teacher at Immokalee Middle School who has been involved with Laces of Love for six years. "They're in shock when they find out (the shoes) are free."
A grassroots organization that often holds its meetings around a kitchen table, Laces of Love consists of an eight-person all-volunteer board that pays all their own expenses so every dollar collected can go directly toward shoes.
"No one gets paid on the staff," noted Nealon, who also works as a substitute teacher. "If someone writes a check for $100,[url=http://billigamonclerjackasverige.albirank.net/][b]http://billigamonclerjackasverige.albirank.net/[/b][/url], 50 bucks, or $10, we'll go buy shoes."
Laces of Love receives most of its donations through shoe parties,[url=http://merrellfootwearsizechart.webmium.com/][b]sell discount 2013 merrell footwear size chart online store[/b][/url], like the one held Sunday. "If you're having a party that you would have had anyway, ask people to bring shoes," suggested Susan Warren, secretary and treasurer for Laces of Love.
That idea resonated with a lot of women.
Carlson,[url=http://woolrichjacket.webmium.com/][b]discount 2013 Woolrich Woolrich Jackets Woolrich® The Original Outdoor[/b][/url], a longtime supporter of Laces of Love, said that last Mother's Day, she asked her children to contribute to Laces of Love instead buying her gifts. The idea went over so well, she's thinking of doing it again this year. "All my children contributed. It was a very easy thing to do."
And first-time attendee Fuller said she's now planning on asking everyone to bring shoes instead of presents to her upcoming 30th birthday party.
Warren can't estimate how many shoe parties are held each year for Laces of Love, but said the foundation is grateful for every pair of shoes it receives. "Even one pair of shoes is important to us." She also said that board members are always happy to go and speak to groups and share the mission of Laces of Love.相关的主题文章：
