C
Daniel came to school every day in torn shoes that were too small for him. He had cut holes where his big toes could spill out and not hurt so much. He was embarrassed.
Before Daniel was measured for new shoes, he was withdrawn and quiet. Kids like Daniel have very low expectations. They learn not to ask even for their most basic needs to be met because they don’t want to be disappointed.
Shoes That Fit provides new shoes to children in need, like Daniel, so they can attend school in comfort and with dignity, better prepared to learn and play. And this is what sets Shoes That Fit apart from similar organizations. Each child is measured to ensure the best fit possible. Then that child receives a brand new pair of shoes. And these are athletic shoes, so not only are they the proud receivers of new shoes, but they can participate in gym and after-school sports.
School staff report that children who receive new shoes through the Shoes That Fit program attend school more often with fewer behavioral problems. They participate more in physical activities and interact more with their peers.
Sandy, the headmaster of Daniel’s school, has seen that a happy child can concentrate on school. They are calmer, more relaxed, not as stressed out. Her school has high expectations for the success of all of their students and the staff there believe that this solid foundation must be built in elementary school. But it’s hard to learn when all you feel is shame.
For Daniel, those shoes made all the difference. He was comfortable and he didn’t have to worry – he felt normal. Now he was happy and interacting with the other kids. Because now he was just like them.
