SHOES FOR HAITI'S KIDS VIDEO

HOW CAN YOU HELP.........

Haiti.......since the earthquake, my heart has been heavy for the people. Having been there, seeing the people, passing out shoes, feeding the hungry, makes me want to just go and help anyway that we can, Haiti is constantly in my thoughts. Right now we are collecting BRAND NEW SHOES and flip flops, as many as are donated. We need hundreds more, thousands really but we want to take as many shoes to the hurting people of Haiti as possible. I know what the streets are like, the concrete, the dirt and the rocks, they desperately need shoes to keep them from cuts, bruises and anything that may cause them infection. We would like to help the orphans there, many without shoes, also the kids living on the streets, receiving a new pair of shoes would give them hope, it would let them know that they are loved and cared for. If you belong to a church, school, organization, club, chapter, neighborhood, could you help us by collecting BRAND NEW Shoes, sneakers, flip flops, sandals for the adults & children of Haiti. We really need your help. The NEW shoes can be any size, style, male or female, boy or girl.......no dressy shoes, heels, or boots please. Just sneakers, sandals, flip flops or casual shoes. Maybe you can only give one pair.....it will change the life of that one person. Some of you may be able to give 10, 20, 50, or 100 pair. Whatever you could do to help us would be so appreciated. Soon we will begin to ship the shoes to Haiti. I am believing God for a way to get them there that will not be costly. He has done it again and again, once we sent them on a school bus that went to Haiti, no cost to us, another time we shipped them in a container with some food that was going over, no cost to us......One thing I know, He always provides. God asks us to help the orphans, the fatherless, the widows and the poor. Please continue to pray for them, for food, water, shelter and just basic needs. If you would like to give a financial donation, we are able to buy shoes at minimal costs, please send a tax deductible check to New Hope Ministries, address posted on the blog. 100% of your money goes to purchase shoes, my husband and I take nothing for ourselves. We are a small ministry but we are making a difference. We have handed out over 2,000 pairs of shoes, feed hundreds rice, beans, bread and water. Please help us to do what God has called us to do......together we can touch so many lives in Haiti.

Many of you ask about gently used shoes, since the beginning of this ministry we have always wanted to give God's best. We never wanted to give the kids from Haiti leftovers but brand new shoes that were bought especially for them. Also we keep the shoes in our home, we don't have a warehouse or storage unit.......costs money. We have a "shoe room" set aside in our home and can you imagine if it was filled with "gently used shoes"........I have smelled some of our sons shoes....even from a distance! Check out those clearance racks, end of season sales, outlet sales.....when you see a pair of shoes, please remember the poor in Haiti, wish you could see their faces when they are given a NEW pair of shoes...... There is nothing like it! Thank you for your kindness, compassion and thoughtfulness for the desperate, poor and needy of Haiti. God sees your heart, ask Him what you can do............
