Help TOMS Give 30,000 Pairs of Shoes to Ethiopian Children! (GIVEAWAY INCLUDED)
This holiday season, TOMS asks that YOU help put 30,000 pairs of shoes on Ethiopian children’s feet. TOMS is halfway there! But they still need your help. It’s SO EASY to help! Simply share this post with your friends and family, and encourage everyone to buy a pair of TOMS shoes for someone as a gift! You’ll be giving two gifts without even trying, because for every pair of TOMS shoes sold, the company gives a pair of shoes to a child in need.
Right now, 1,000,000 men, women and children are suffering from PODOCONIOSIS in Ethiopia. Podoconiosis is a soil-transmitted disease caused by walking barefoot in silica-rich soil. Silica is ancient volcanic glass that penetrates the skin and makes its way into the lymphatic system. The feet and lower legs swell, open sores and ulcers develop, and infection sets in. But there is good news: PODOCONIOSIS IS 100% PREVENTABLE - all it takes is a pair of shoes. So help TOMS put shoes on children’s feet in Ethiopia to help prevent this desease.
GIVEAWAY In conjunction with this campaign, TOMS is offering one Shoe Smitten reader a free TOMS Shoes Holiday Gift Set, which includes a copy of the award-winning For Tomorrow - The TOMS Shoes Story film and a gift card for a pair of TOMS (up to $50 value, which covers all but the TOMS Wrap Boot). The giveaway begins today, and will end Dec. 15 at 11:59pm Central Time (ENTER NOW!!!). To enter, simply leave a comment with your thoughts about TOMS’ cause, and your email address. The winner will be chosen randomly and announced shortly after the giveaway ends.
