As a current or potential partner with Deerfield Beach High School we would like to request your assistance with our annual “Black Shoe Collection” which, for the past three years has been providing shoes to students at the elementary level. As I am sure you are aware many companies support national drives during this season, however ours is community based – the shoes go directly on to the feet of elementary students through our Caribbean and Haitian partners.
You may ask “Why only black shoes?” One of the constraints of the Caribbean and Haitian school systems is that students must have the required uniform in order to go to public school (White shirt, dark pants/shorts and black shoes). It certainly seems a hardship for families to come up with black shoes when they can’t even put food on the table, but it is their reality. Ironically, providing shoes can help to educate a child!
