Many blessings to you all for sharing and loving the people of Haiti and for giving Shoes for Haiti!

To date we have all collected 497 pairs of shoes and shipped 360. Simply amazing!!! Thank you again for all everyone is doing for Shoes for Haiti. I wish you could all go with me to Haiti and see all these beautiful people, wearing the shoes you have given unconditionally. You are their blessing.

My heart is overwhelmed with happiness. Merry Christmas my fellow bloggers!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Shipment of 32 shoes mailed to Indiana then Haiti. My garage is empty of Shoes for Haiti so let's keep collecting shoes. Below is an email from Indiana regarding all the wonderful Shoes for Haiti you all have given. The blessing keeps going and going and going....

"We appreciate all that you do gathering the shoes for the beautiful people in Haiti. Pastor Pierre was in Indiana earlier this month and he personally expressed his appreciation of your high standards of quality, cleanliness, and thoroughness and gathering the shoes for his people. He is overwhelmed by the outpouring of the blessing from you all in Texas."

Exciting news from NVM in Haiti. Shoes are arriving by the suitcases and being used in great ways. Read the email from NVM about your SHOES for HAITI!!

Pam,
I wanted to let you know that your work and generosity has inspired Pastor and the school!  We are going to kick off a new program for children to earn a pair of shoes.  They can do this through good behavior, good grades, passing a difficult exam, showing love and exceeding kindness, etc.  I am super excited to help out with this.  As shoes come in, we are getting them all set aside.  We are working on a container that will have shelves so we can arrange by gender and size.  Then, when we have children getting shoes as awards, I will be certain to take pictures and send them your way."

FYI:

Children need black shoes, any style, but all black. If you have any to share let me know or send my way! Thank you all again for sending Shoes TO Haiti.

175 Pairs of Shoes for Haiti

08.18.13: Day 11 Phase 3

Ready to send the 3rd shipment of Shoes for Haiti this week. Received shoes from J Lowden (via NYC); S Rebenstorf (as well as a cash donation to assist with shipping costs) and J Veritel this past week. Total number of shoes being shipped is 58 (75 pounds). Amazing work to everyone.

Total number of Shoes for Haiti as of 08.18.13: 102

Day 11 Phase 3

08.11.13 Email from the US Base office of NVM regarding the many shoes you all have shared; looks like we are doing everything just right! Read Below:

"Greetings! The shoes you are sending are very good quality. Don't change a thing, the missionaries in Haiti are basing their standards on items that were shipped before I took the position of Shipping and Donations Coordinator for NVM. Some of the previous stuff was left overs that did not sell at a garage or yard sale that some one had and they dumped it in on the shipment.  That will not happen anymore.  With that said, your shipments are good quality and all will be shipped to Haiti. Keep up the great work in the name of our Lord."

08.08.13: Day 10 Phase 3
This month received 37 pairs of shoes from Woodcreek Athletic Club; A Delgao, S Bryant's RN's buddies from MFH/ER, L White. Will ship towards the end of the month so still plenty of time to send me more Shoes for Haiti. NVM Haiti has requested no shoes larger than size 10. 

Day 9 Phase 3

Many thanks to L White for placing a flyer  at Woodcreek Athletics (Tyler) and the 14 pairs of shoes!

Another 3 pair from B Athey and 1 pair from M Chadwick (via S Bryant). 

Second shipment in route and waiting for a more shoes before I ship the third shipment.

Shoes for HAITI

"Welcome"

It is my hearts desire to bring HAITI to you by this blog.

I have had the privilege of visiting HAITI twice in the past year by participating in Mobile Medical Outreach Clinic with NVM, Nehemiah Vision Ministries (Chembrun, Quest).

NVM is located 10 miles from the capital Port-au-Prince.
NVM campus includes a hospital, medical clinic, offices, school, church, cafeteria, volunteer housing, team dorms, warehouse, and various storage facilities.

One of the many things I witnessed was the numerous children and adults without shoes! I humbly share with you all that I am abundant in athletic shoes. As a runner, I have a surplus of shoes that I am unable to run in and I decided to ask around town and collect used athletic shoes and "give back" to HAITI .
I have currently cleaned out my closet and now ready to take the first step in donations. Join me in this outreach by giving me YOUR shoes; I will wash them and have them clean and ready to ship to  HAITI via Indiana (USA corporate office of NVM). If possible a $2-$4 donation per shoe would be helpful to assist with shipping, but not mandatory.
