Dear Mesamche Lev, Please accept my warmest thanks for the new shoes for all of my children. I wouldn't be able to buy them myself, and I don't know what we would do without your help. I was especially worried about not being able to replace my daughter Hadassah's shoes. She is six years old, and her shoes were embarrassingly ragged and torn. She is so thrilled. I am sending you a note she wrote to you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you."    |
Replace a child's torn, pinching shoes. Thousands of children in Israel wear torn, tight shoes every day - because their families can't afford to buy new ones. The implications are serious. A child without proper shoes is exposed to drenching rain, pebbles, and pain. |

But that is not all. Mesamche Lev distributes shoes to 40,000 children a year - that's about 800 school buses full! Many of the children would not get new shoes anywhere else, because their parents can't afford to buy them. |

How much is 40,000? 40,000 children would fill:
