Hi friends, I realize it’s been 8 weeks since all the shoes were distributed.
I apparently returned to my regularly scheduled programming without giving you an update.
Well, here it is. At some point I’ll have a pretty Canva graphic or video with a catchy song. For now, you get an index card.
Thank you for your support with this shoe drive. We have been 100% supported by Hamilton Co donations and/or Amazon List shoppers. Neighbors helping neighbors. THANK YOU!

My curiosity got the best of me …. There are a lot of unmarked cans (in date) in the little free pantry by Jellybean. I NEED TO KNOW!

If you are so inclined, please make a donation to the program at www.readsi.org

💚Hey friends! If you have signed up for a shoe, but haven’t heard from me, feel free to message me or email me at:

💚Thank you for your patience, donations, sponsorships, and all the help getting these shoes where they need to go.

What is Bridge? If you're new here - listen to this interview to learn more! Last year, I sat down with WRUL Open Line to share my story and mission.
