Take a Walk in My Shoes

Help me give my students shoes to improve their quality of life through education

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vivian's classroom raised $501

This project is fully funded

My Project

There are student facing barriers that prevent them from maintaining focus in school, such as not having shoes that fit their current needs. Elementary students are rapidly growing and some families struggle to meet these needs. This prevents students from participating in play at recess without their feet hurt. Sadly, students will also face bullying from peers when seeing shoes that do not fit. This will reduce the students' ability to stay focused on their education, which will improve their lives as they get older in terms of applying for a job.
