Hi Isabel, please send me an address I’d like to either send you money or a pair or two of shoes for the kids. I know it’s late, but maybe you could keep collecting them and mail them to Kenya. Your a very large soul. Mary
Hi Mary,
I will be going to Guatemala in July and we will be trying to get more shoes. If you still want to donate you can send the donation to: New Life Church

I am on staff at the church and this is the best address to use.
Thanks,
Patricia
Thanks Patricia, it’s great work. I’ll be sending some shoes. I’m in NY, Western NY. We collect old sneakers, but they get recycled, not sent to other country’s. Mary
PS I found this site from Pastor Ryan’s site, I believe they are traveling together to Kenya. Did not want you to think I was a nut job. Mary

I’ve never read your momma’s blog before today and you’ve just melted my heart with your idea to collect shoes for the Kenyan’s. There is a couple near me that collect shoes to send to a Kenyan family who then sell the shoes for their income. God is going to use you mightily for Him – I can’t wait to hear about it. I’m going to start following your momma’s blog just to see!
Hi Isabel and Patricia, sorry a weeks gone by and I was carrying around a check for you! Well it’s in the mail today. I was going to go out and buy the shoes and send them. But I got to thinking you may just enjoy picking them out your self. And I saved postage. So the check in on the way (I couldn’t get to the PO for the stamps), and thanks for doing this. Mary
Mary, we will post a picture of the shoes we buy. Our next shoe trip is to Guatemala. Thanks!!
what a dope I am, I just got the letter back, I did not see “New Life Church and just put shoes for kids, I got it back today and I WILL PUT IT BACK IN THE MAIL TODAY, I’M SO SORRY!. Mary
Hi Patricia, it came back a second time, stated attempted not known? Can you check the address you gave me. I feel kind of silly here. Thanks, Mary
Hi Mary,
I am so sorry, apparently the mailbox # I gave you was old. Here is the updated box number.
Thanks,
Patricia
