Laces of Love

The Laces of Love Team

John, Marcy, Angela, Ro, Donna, and Mark

Last week we had a team come down with the Laces of Love ministry and Bless us with the gift of new shoes for all the students and most of the staff.

Last spring they sent down a shoe sizer and I got all the measurements of the kids feet and Monday a team of 6 arrived with all the shoes.

A very excited class trying their best to wait patiently
for their turn to be fitted with shoes

The team would remove the sock and shoes the students were wearing

Then they would wash the students feet
(This part was hard and humbling for our older students.

A lot of them were embarrassed and ashamed of their

socks and smelly feet and didn't want the team to wash them.)

Allesha and Sanieka were SO EXCITED as they tried on their new shoes

Kyle, Tajay, Paris, and Richard all ready to go back to class wearing their new shoes.

A very happy and proud Laverne leaving in her new white shoes:)

All the kids did get shoes but the older ones were more embarrassed of this process and didn't want their pictures taken but LOVED getting the new shoes as much as the little kids did!
