The Walk In My Shoes Foundation

Our Annual Christmas Party was a great success! We were sponsored by The Cracker Barrel Pearland with the restaurant providing full meals and drinks for 13 kids and 5 parents. Gifts were provided by The Cracker Barrel Pearland retail store for all 13 kids and their parents. Friends of The Walk In My Shoes Foundation also provided gifts of pajamas, clothing, and house shoes. We played games with winning prizes and desserts were provided by me. All in all everyone had a fantastic celebration. We were able to sponsor 3 families this year and are looking forward to sponsoring more with the help of others like yourselves!

This holiday season has been a definite busy and exciting one. We had two single moms to reach out for clothing and shoes for their kids. The first mom is single with five kids homeless staying with a friend for the past 7 months. Her kids are ages 8 mts., 2 yrs., 4 yrs., 9 yrs., and 12 years old all very energetic happy kids. Mom has reached out for food assistance, clothes, and shoes for her babies and we have reached out to our supporters for assistance with providing their needs. We have even collected toys for the kids to open on Christmas morning.

Mom no. 2 is single with 6 kids: triplets age 5, twins age 11, and a 14-year-old son all needing clothes, shoes, and gifts for Christmas. Unfortunately, this family is not happy and energetic as mom lost her job three weeks ago and is feeling the pinch. We have collected clothing, a few pairs of shoes, and some toys for them to open on Christmas morning.

Each family needs food and all other items listed. Donations of clothing and toys are promised by several people to be delivered to me on tomorrow. If you would like to contribute, please contact me at 713-391-9575 and/or CashApp: $SheilaLavallies. During this holiday season, we ask that you open your hearts to help support these two families. God Bless! Attached is the latest information on the families needs:

Luke 3:10,11
“What should we do then?” the crowd asked. John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.”

James 2:15-16
"If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled'. without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
