Over
$3,000.00 raised: funded and partially delivered
There is a common need in virtually every orphanage: shoes for the
children. OBS purchases as much in-country as possible, but shoes
are the exception for several reasons. Buckner Shoes for Orphans Souls
is an amazing organization that provides brand new shoes for needy
children. An Orphan's Bright Star's application requesting one pair
of shoes for every child in our orphanages, and even for some orphanages
outside of our official scope, is being worked right now. Shoes can
be costly in Ukraine, so shipping free shoes over to the homes makes
very good sense in this situation. |
