Give A Kid A Shoe, Give A Kid A Chance II
Donation protected
My name is Henry Russell IV and my son "Cinco" and I are partnering with non-profits "LEAD" and "DHM" . As well as several schools across the Dallas-Fort Worth area ,to help influence middle school age kids in Texas to envision their absolute best selves. Then give them the necessary tools, best practices to walk towards becoming that person every single day.
1 in 5 children lives in poverty But kids can suffer excruciating stigma, bullying, and ridicule…all for lack of decent shoes. ... When our kids get their new athletic shoes, 70% percent of our schools report an increase in physical activity and 40% of our schools report higher attendance. With this renewed since of confidence and presence in the classroom these kids are free to focus on their development and trust that we are not only here for them as mentors but also feel they don't have to go to the streets or unlawful activity to find acceptance.

My son and I along with some of my Nike family are raising $5100.00 to buy 60 kids across Texas Brand new Nike Air Force 1's. We successfully accomplished this feet last year (video below) and for some it was literally their first pair of New shoes. We are so excited to do it again and with your help I know we can!
We would really appreciate it if you would share and/or donate to our GoFundMe.
This is last years video Thank you
