700 done, 318 to go.......

I have had dreams about backpacks, little white socks and white running shoes. In my dreams the shoes are jumping out of their assigned boxes and walking quickly towards me!! Its ironic that last week we were taking all of the shoes out of the boxes that they came in and placing them into large cardboard boxes by size. Now we have spent days taking them out of said boxes to continue their journey to a child's feet! We had over 40 people helping us last week. Some from as far away as Lafayette, Louisiana.



By this coming Tuesday (January 26) everything will be packed and ready to go. Each backpack will have a child's name and a group attached to it. We will then celebrate that the job is complete. I am hoping by then that the shoe dreams will stop and are replaced by dreams of the beach, the ocean and maybe a cocktail!!
