To My Brothers and Sisters:
Welcome! Please look down at your feet, You will have on a pair of shoes, sneakers, work shoes, church shoes, or house slippers. How Blessed we All are to have Anything on our feet. But Truth be told many are Not so Blessed. I've been Touched to do something about this so called Problem. My idea is to ask All with Love in Their Hearts for others to Donate (1 Pair I Care) to Anyone in Need. My Vision is to have Everyone to Donate Any size Men or Women shoe wear. Asking for New pair of Footwear to give to the Homeless and the Needy a New start. If you can't Donate shoe wear, then make a Donation for a Tee Shirt, so I can make it possible to purchase New Footwear for the Homeless and Needy. This Vision has A Purpose Helping the less Fortunate. Asking God to Touch Each and Everyone's Heart, Mind and Ways toward Our Brothers and Sisters in Need.
The Mission
The mission of "1 Pair I Care" is to provide the dignity, comfort and mobility of new shoes to men, woman and veterans experiencing homelessness in New Orleans LA, helping them get back on their feet.
The Founder
My name is Eddie Guevares. As a military veteran I have witnessed the struggles of many displaced souls. The good Lord opened my heart and filled it with boundless compassion for my brothers and sisters in need. I have been offering hope through the donation of shoes and sneakers to the ones who truly need it the most.
The Aim
The Aim of this organization is to serve the community through services that actually benefit the ones in need. Even the poor needs shoes, Because we are our brother's keepers.
