There are 1.5 BILLION people in our world who do not even have one pair of shoes!
MANY are precious children! Yet...we throw away OVER 680 million pairs of shoes in every year in the USA.
As I (Travis Gugelman) have traveled and met so many orphanes children one thing I have fallen in love with is there laughter.
They are shoeless, parentless, and often very hungry, and malnutritioned, but they have love to give!

Please help us make a dent in this sadness!
WE are asking everyone to make MARCH our month to collect shoes. (And a few days into April)
Travis Gugelman and Lori Nordstrom will be driving ACROSS the nation April 2nd-10th on a SHOE DRIVE.
They have arranged for a shipping company to pick up shoes from large drop locations once they have 25K pairs of shoes.
These can be any kind of shoe, any size, and in any condition.
***************************************************************************Did you check out the map? I'm so excited to be a part of this Charity Drive for Dando Amor.
My house is also a drop off location, so please feel free to drop your shoes off in the box by the front door. Or please message me or call me at 469-388-5904 and I will come pick them up!
I will also be hosting a Shoe Drive Party at my house on Tuesday, March 26th from 5-8 pm. Please feel free to drop by anytime during that time frame. Stay two minutes or stay two hours. Those that bring 5 or more pairs of shoes will receive a free headshot from me! Please bring shoes in a ziploc baggie with the size written in a sharpie on the outside of the baggie.
I'm counting on you for your help and support. Please help me have something for Travis and Lori to actually pick up when they stop by my house. :)
