About Us
Raising awareness to the plight of shoeless children in impoverished or conflict torn regions and doing our part to put shoes on children’s feet. That is our vision in a nutshell, though there is much more that will come from our efforts. We cannot do it without your support.
We are a group of people who came together to create this non-profit organization through a shared and special friendship with our good friend Trevor Aston. Trevor was a Marine with the 1st Battalion, 23rd Regiment, 4th Division out of Austin, Texas. Trevor enlisted in the Marine Corps in the months after 9/11. He was intelligent and selfless; he gave all he could for his friends and all of himself for his country. He was killed while on duty on February 22, 2005 in Al Anbar Province, Iraq. Trevor was 32.
One of Trevor’s greatest qualities was his generosity. One of his greatest idiosyncrasies was his love of shoes. Pumas, Vans, Adidas, you name it he probably had a pair. He was, as I overheard someone say, the “Imelda Marcos” of our group of friends. We came together to celebrate these great qualities and share them with the world. This is our way of remembering and honoring our great friend.
