All I want for Christmas are Shoes!

Shoes for the Homeless, Inc. received an email just before the holidays saying “All I need for Christmas are shoes” and it was signed Jesus. We reached out to him immediately. Jesus told us that he is a 50 y/o homeless man who desperately needed a pair of shoes, size 11. He told us that his shoes were literally coming apart and it was causing him much pain. It was also causing blisters and other skin problems. The next day we met with him with two pairs of size 11 shoes.
