New footwear is rolling in for the hard hurt Katrina victims. "The first day of pledges exceeded 200 thousand new pairs that will be distributed in various parts of the hard hurt area," stated Joyell Dalton, Manager of the relief effort - "Million Pair March."
"It is truly awesome to see the display of compassion from the footwear industry and individuals nationwide," said Wayne Elsey, President Kodiak-Terra USA Inc. "The challenge is now for everyone of us to search their hearts and closets donating any extra footwear we might have," added Elsey.
Earlier this year, Elsey organized a team of folks that shipped over 150,000 pairs of shoes to the hard hurt Tsunami victims. "They want to exceed a million pairs collected. This is a dynamic number to look back on. People are in great distress, hurt and just heart broken about their loss. I challenge you to send your extra shoes to the event so they can get them to the hurting," said Dalton.
"It is all about offering hope. They all are real people, living in a real world. Hope is what it is all about, something as simple as a pair of shoes can offer the hope needed," added Elsey.
KatrinaShoes was launched on 9-7 to help organize and distribute a million pairs of shoes for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
