Lauren has been collecting shoes for WAMMS (Walk a Mile in My Shoes) organization that sends shoes over to countries where many of the children don't have shoes. Lauren has always asked if we could give our shoes that don't fit to needy kids so this was a perfect fit. She sent out the email all by herself and has been collecting money and shoes for the past two weeks. It has been so heartwarming to see kids giving her their allowence to help with the shipping of the shoes. So far she has collected 31 pairs of shoes and $17. One of the Girl Scout Troops in our neighborhood is making this their bronze award so let us know if you have more shoes and we will get them to this troop!
