Robeez....Good enough for Celebrities

If Robeez is good enough for celebrity children, it's good enough for orphans!





Thanks to other adoptive parent's blogs, I found this great company that donate shoes for needy causes. I just confirmed with the Robeez PR person today and she is sending me 20 pairs of little shoes for the babies in my daughter's orphanage.

Heart & SoleCaring about first steps – it’s about more than the shoes we make. We also care about our communities. This is why we created Robeez Heart & Sole program of charitable giving.

The Robeez Heart & Sole program focuses on supporting the needs of infants and children in need. Today, we regularly provide shoes to disadvantaged children all around the world. Since the inception of the program, Robeez has donated over 135,000 pairs of adorable shoes and booties. That’s a lot of little shoes; so many in fact that if all those shoes were stacked up heel to toe, those donations would represent a height over four times as tall as Mount Everest! Here are some of the programs we have supported since establishing Heart & Sole in 2003:

International Adoptions
Many of our loyal customers are adoptive parents seeking much-needed resources for their new sons’ and daughters’ former orphanages. Robeez regularly supports international orphanages by sending shoes with families traveling to adopt children.
