OBG Advocate Lily Curtis (pictured above) took
The One Brown Girl Challenge (as did
many others) and facilitated a shoe drive in her community to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake. With the help of her friends, family, neighbors and some folks she didn't even know, Lily was able to fill up the back of a pick up truck! "
We had everything from psychadelic high heels to barely used boots to light-up Sesame Street shoes. We had some shoes that had never been worn! People were so appreciative to have an outlet for their desire to contribute to the rebuilding and healing in Haiti." Just goes to show that it does indeed take a village. Please.
Do not forget about Haiti.
