you did here at The Salvation Army Center of Hope, to see
the kids waling around with smiles on there faces because
they have a new pair of shoes is priceless. The extra shoes
have been so much of help because we have been able to
serve other kids that have came into the shelter with a new
pair of shoes. You are a angel sent from heaven I appreciate
all that you do.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
