"Helping homeless kids put their best foot forward."

A fifteen year old boy, Nicholas Lowinger, started a charity group that gives new shoes to homeless children, who can't afford them. The group is called "The Gotta Have Sole Foundation," and it has given shoes to over 10,000 homeless children in 21 states. In 2010, when he first started the foundation, it was just his community giving, but it gradually got bigger. He wants to give kids new shoes because, "no two people's feet are identical, and if you are wearing someone else's worn shoes, your feet aren't going to be very comfortable." Nicholas believe news shoes can make a child feel good about themselves, and they're more confident, and they're feet are probably way more comfortable. He didn't want to just settle for shoes being donated every now and then, he wanted it to be something he could do for the rest of his life.
