Instead, the money they
would have spent on cake, ice cream, party favors and decorations will be used
to buy shoes for needy children around the world. And she won’t have piles of
presents to unwrap on her special day. But that’s the way young Charlene Caine
wants it. She’s asking all her friends and family to buy shoes for kids she will
probably never meet, instead of shopping for her. With the help of her mother
and father, Gayle and Charles Caine, she sent them a letter recently, explaining
why and how they could make those contributions.
She’s hoping that their donations will make a big difference in the Christmas shoe project she heard about on television this summer.
She learned about it on the program “Life TODAY” with James and Betty Robinson, which focuses in part on mission outreach. As she learned more about poverty-stricken areas of the world, she started asking her mother why these other young people didn’t have adequate food, shoes, clothing or clean drinking water. Her mother explained that, whatever the reasons, all people who can should do their part to help meet those most basic needs.
A few days later, she and her mother were shopping for a new book bag in preparation for the coming school year. Charlene saw the price tag on the one she’d chosen.Free shipping BOTH ways on womenssandals,Find dsquaredshoes from the latest collection。 “Mom this would buy 10 pairs of shoes,” the soft-spoken youngster told her mother.
She decided against buying a new bag at all, and had her mother send the money for the shoes. She went back to Malone (Fla.) School this fall with her visibly worn bag from the last academic year. She doesn’t mind if someone teases her about the old book bag; she’s feeling too good knowing that 10 more children will be walking in shoes rather than trying to walk barefoot down dirt roads strewn with pebbles and possibly getting sick from cuts to their feet that could lead to infection and disease.
Each of her parents, inspired by their daughter’s selflessness, donated 10 more pairs of the sturdy $4-shoes, for a total of 30 sent by the Caine family at a cost of $120. Soon after, Charlene got a little token of thanks in the mail. It’s a small gold-plated shoe ornament for her Christmas tree. The treasure will be the first ornament hung on the tree this year, the youngster said.What we see and hear enough of, we buy christianlouboutinshoe into – often.

She’s giving away all the clothes that don’t fit; they’re going to local children in need. And she kept her new wardrobe to a minimum. She wants the money saved to go to kids who have much less than she does.
Her mother calls her “”The princess with a big heart,” in reference to the Miss Serendipity pageant crown she won in recent years, and is clearly proud that, at such a young age, her daughter has embraced the spirit of giving that her parents have always tried to instill in her.
The family is hoping that her participation in the Christmas shoe project will inspire loved ones and strangers to give as well. Donors can send money orders for the shoes to Life Outreach International. To note that it was Charlene who inspired the gift, and to make sure it goes to the right mission project, write “Big Heart Challenge Charlene” in the right hand corner of the money order.
