Have you met Tom? I first heard about Tom’s Shoes years ago through a friend at church. Here is a brief synopsis of what I learned:
In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers. (source)
As an American woman I tend to think of shoes as a right- to have less than 10 pairs of shoes in my closet would be absurd. Yet many children around the world do not even have one pair of shoes. So if buying a pair of shoes could help someone in need, I think I could make that sacrifice.
Now back in the day I have to admit Tom’s shoes weren’t very cool looking. They have changed- ALOT. There are some really cute shoes available!
I have a $50 gift pack from Tom’s Shoes to give to one lucky reader. I don’t know what’s inside of it so it will just have to be a surprise to you and me both!
