Thank you for the thank-you, Christy! A note from a TOMS fan on giving in the USA
Dear TOMS,
I have been buying your shoes for years and have at least 20 pairs! It has always warmed my heart reading about all of the many lives you are touching…
But, after I read where you are helping Native Americans [by prodiving them] with shoes, I just lost it! My daughters and I have been doing volunteer service work with the Lakota people in Oglala, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge reservation for years…I thank you so much because I know first-hand how badly they need our support in so many ways.
I will continue to purchase TOMS Shoes and wear them proudly. My daughter has even begun to paint them for family and friends and she is quite the artist. We love ALL our TOMS!!!!
Thank you again for helping these wonderful people & ALL of the wonderful people you have so graciously helped!
Sincerely,
Christy
