Thank You For Helping With The Another Child Shoe Drive

Apr 8, 2025

We are incredibly grateful for your support of the Another Child “Blessing Little Feet” Shoe Drive this February and March. Thanks to your generosity, we are already making an incredible impact on children’s lives in Guatemala and Romania. While we’re still collecting shoes through a few more participating churches, we are thrilled to report that we’ve reached 85% of our goal to provide 2,500 pairs of shoes this year!

Each new pair of shoes, donated for just $23, represents so much more than protection from dirt and tough terrain—it represents a safer walk to school, better health, and the ability for children to focus on their education without the worry of walking in worn-out shoes. It’s hard to imagine the struggles of walking miles each day with shoes that are too small, full of holes, or falling apart, but thanks to you, that’s no longer a reality for many children.

The shoes you’ve helped provide will keep feet safe from harmful health issues and give children the chance to attend school, thrive, and stay healthy. But beyond the physical impact, these shoes also offer something deeply spiritual: hope. Many of the schools in these communities also share the Gospel with the children, helping them build not only brighter futures here but eternal hope as well. A simple gift like a pair of shoes is changing lives in ways we could never have imagined.

We are so thankful for your support of this mission. Your donation is not just a financial gift—it’s a lifeline. Because of your kindness, children who have struggled for so long are now walking toward a better future. Together, we are making a world of difference, one pair of shoes at a time.

Thank you again for your incredible generosity. We can’t wait to share the joy your kindness has brought to children in need. You are truly making a difference in their lives!

With deepest thanks,
Tim Oloffson
Executive Director

Every Child Deserves to Be Warm This Winter Winter in Romania is harsh. Temperatures drop well below freezing, and the biting wind cuts through anything that isn't thick and protective. For most of us, bundling up in a warm coat is second nature. But for the children...
