Shoes!

Following the feeding ministry, we took several pairs of shoes to a local family that attends the feeding program. The mother, who has five children, walks 45 minutes each week to see her children receive a meal from the program.

Their neighborhood colonia is a sea of cinder block in the middle of a dry, dusty plain. The father leaves each morning at 4:30 for his job as a mason and returns well after dark. While employed, the family is poor.

Analiz, Brad and Dexton worked alongside of feeding ministry leader Saul to fit the shoes, collected through Buckner International's Shoes for Orphan Souls drive, to each child's feet. The five pairs, said Saul, equaled about a week and a half's wages for the father.
