A new pair of shoes can be much more than that for a young child. New shoes can inspire confidence and joy. Soles4Souls provides shoes to kids in need every day. Some kids share how thankful they are for their new shoes with notes and drawings.
"I really want to thank Mrs. Donna for giving me these wonderful shoes that make me feel confident and cool. I didn't really want to go to school with my old shoes because I felt embarrassed, now it's different and I can run and play better. Thank you, I love you!"
Sometimes the thank you notes come from parents, grandparents and siblings.
"To Whom it may concern:
I wanted to thank you for your donation of shoes. I have two grandkids that I'm raising, and they were very happy with the shoes that they pick out. Thanks for your kindness. I have been told by other children that they love their new shoes, too. Thank you just doesn't seem like much, but it is from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you. Bless you."
