Mile Two: We have our first group of shoe recipients. Our school's liaison communicated with a family who have been homeless for quite sometime. The family has two high school boys and one middle school boy. The mom has given us the three brothers' shoe sizes. I found a good deal on some nice running shoes after running my half marathon on a rainy Sunday morning. I purchased them right away for the three brothers.
More to follow soon.
A Shoe Adoption Project's Vision: (Draft - Updated 1/22/17)
The vision of ASAP is to provide every homeless/foster child in the school district with one pair of new athletic shoes each academic year. New shoes help promote the improvement of a child's physical and emotional health. Through running, the child can develop positive self-esteem, accountability, and confidence.
A Shoe Adoption Project's Mission Statement: (Draft - Updated 1/20/17)
By communicating with the school district's Homeless Youth Liaison, Mr. Ricky Yip will collect information on the shoe sizes of the children who are in need. Using donation collected from local runners, teachers, and community members, Mr. Yip will organize the purchase, gift wrap, and delivery of new athletic shoes to children in need. ASAP's mission is to use 100% of any donation collected directly towards children in need.
