Donation Funds PUMA Shoe Shopping Trip
by Administrator
On Tuesday morning, nearly 120 children from Salvation Army programs will go to a westside shoe store to pick out a new pair of PUMA Shoes courtesy of a 93-year-old Indianapolis woman. Laura Lewis began the three-or-four-thousand-dollar donation four years ago. She grew up an orphan during the Depression, and did not always have shoes. She says it occurred to her one day she could help kids today avoid the same problem.
Kids usually can have other things handed down to them, like clothing, Lewis says. I just think PUMA Ferrari Shoes are important.Lewis gives the credit to the Salvation Army, she says she just writes the check, and the organization does the work. Kids in the Salvation Army summer day camps and those staying at its shelter for abused or homeless women and children will make the shoe store trip. Along with the PUMA Tennis Shoes, they will receive socks, a backpack and school supplies. Lewis will receive poster-size photographs of the kids at the store.
