There’s a spirit in giving and helping the human race that brings a sense of peace and serenity found no other place. When we reach out to our brothers and sisters who find themselves in unfortunate situations, our souls bond and together we experience the love this life was meant to create. Setting all nonsense aside, we reach beyond race, political preferences, gender or religious differences, across geographical barriers, to change lives and individuals, and most of all, to change ourselves. For a moment, we all find that joy we spend each day seeking.
We are honored to join forces with Soles4Souls, an organization dedicated to providing a way for all of God’s children to walk with covered feet, something that comes so easily to most of us. We believe in their mission and purpose. Likewise, we believe that by giving, we will become better people and a much better business. We have specifically collaborated with the 50,000 shoes project headed by Jessica Simpson, Ken Paves and Cacee Cobb. Together, we hope to accomplish this goal to provide 50,000 shoes in 50 days to the victims in Haiti.
While this is no small feat, we are confident that with your help we will succeed. We ask that you post the jpeg flyer on your own blogs and websites, post the new Recessionista/Soles4Souls button as well, and spread the word through facebook, email and twitter. The Internet is an amazing tool and can be used to spread so much goodness.
Our contribution: For the next 50 days, we will mark down all of our shoes to incredible prices and, reduce every item in our shop. For every shoe purchased, we will donate a shoe directly to Project Haiti up to 10,000 shoes. In addition, 20% of all our non-shoe sales will be donated as well. We encourage you all to help in any way you can. We thank-you in advance for helping and express our sincere gratitude for making our first 3 months online amazing. Someday, we’ll pull an “Oprah” and provide free shoes to everyone! Until then, we can start by sending shoes to Haiti.
Please help us spread the word! Here are 2 sizes to help. Simply copy and paste the code in your blog sidebar. If you need a different size, let us know. The 1st one is 125 x 125 and the second is 150 x 162.
