Homeless Children Need Properly Fitted Shoes Too!
As kids are welcomed back to school, it is imperative that they have proper fitting shoes to prevent foot problems. Children may need multiple pairs of shoes in one year because they are growing so fast. It is challenging for parents experiencing homelessness to afford shoes because they are expensive.
