Hello Everyone!
Well, the last eight months have been very exciting for all of us at Roma Boots!
I'm writing this letter as we're embarking on our first boot drop to Haiti and the fifth boot drop of the year. In February we were in Romania, in April in Honduras, in May we were in Moore, OK (1st domestic boot drop) and in June, in Nepal. We know that rain boots are the most practical of footwear when it comes to children
living in poverty - Whether they're in cold or warm climates, rain, snow or mud, rain boots are essential. In the previous newsletter I sent out last December, Roma Boots was extending to new territories, new cities and new boutiques. Though that continues to be the case for us and doors continue to open, I must say the thing that has caught us all by surprise has been the overwhelming need for rain boots, both domestically and abroad. With the increasing publicity and exposure we're receiving - charities, churches & NGO's have become even more aware of Roma Boots and have expressed a great need for rain boots. Consequentially, we've given away more boots than we've sold and we still have not given enough. From Hurricane Sandy to the recent tornadoes in May that have left Moore, Oklahoma looking like a war zone, to the third world countries we've visited, rain boots are the most urgent, sanitary and functional footwear, especially for children.
This April we celebrated 3 years of giving poverty the boot! We've now entered our 4th year and thousands of lives have been changed because you believed in what we are doing. Our goal now is to give away 10,000 boots between Nov. 29th which is our Day of Hope and April 3rd which will be our 4th year anniversary. In order to do so we need to raise funds for a portion of those boots. These are in addition to what we're giving away through our 'buy one, give one model'.
So, by clicking the link below you can donate directly to the Roma For All Foundation or you can mail a check to the address below the link.
Join our cause and help give poverty the boot! Thank you for your support!
