We received the following in a thank you note and I wanted to share as a reminder that small kindnesses mean so much and we can all do our part in making this world a kinder and better place:

What a wonderful way to remember Ben! I truly believe that if we would all remember that someone who is unhoused is a son or daughter-not just one to be ignored and pushed aside, this world would be a much better place! Thank you for helping us keep our guests feet warm and dry! We so appreciate it.

November 23, 2018 I posted this on my page. I never dreamed it would grow into what we have today. Over 30,000 pair have been donated to 11 shelters in nine Missouri communities. From family, friends, complete strangers, businesses and community groups the support has been amazing. Thank you to each and every one of you who made this happen❣️

Since Benjamin Miller died I have struggled on what to do to honor his memory. Ive donated money to different causes but nothing felt right. Brianna Miller-Medrano gave me a wonderful idea. Ben loved white socks and he had hundreds (not an exaggeration) of pairs of white tube socks. His goal in life was to be rich enough never to have to wear socks that have been washed, He loved the new sock feel. Socks is the number one need in homeless shelters. I think it is the perfect way to honor him by donating socks to homeless shelters. I am asking for his friends to either send me packages of white tube socks or to donate some to a local shelter in his memory. PM me and I will send you my address. If you donate in his name please let me know. I have made this public so please share with your friends.
