I became aware of Sole Hope when I created a Shoe Party at one of the Hilton events I was managing. I had never heard about Sole Hope, but reading about its goal and vision showed me what certain people were living without access to shoes to keep their feet away from nasty parasites. As I looked at my closet of various heels, sneakers, and boots, I thought about how donating jeans and creating one pair of shoes could save a life. 

At the conclusion of the event, we created 28 sets of shoes. I was packing each set up to send to Sole Hope and thought about the 28 lives we touched by giving them access to healthy, happy feet. I thought about kids being able to walk to school or play their favorite sport without pain, and I knew I had to be a part of this organization.

I've decided to focus all of my energy on raising awareness funds and awareness for Sole Hope. My Goal is to raise $1200 by December 31, 2019.

That's why I started this fundraiser on Pure Charity. Every penny of this goes to fund projects that provide education, jobs, and medical relief. These powerful projects even give updates on their progress that show real results and real lives impacted!

Thank you for helping me make a difference!
