My sister told me about a news segment about a local man coaching a girls basketball team while barefoot. I found the segment online and decided to text my donation of $10 to Samaritan's Feet--an organization with the goal of providing 10 million pair of shoes over the next 10 years to people in need. It's hard to believe that there are people around the world without so much as one pair of shoes. Later this year (probably in the spring) I plan to buy another pair of Toms shoes as well--one donation per purchase.
If I'm right, I think texting donations first became popular after the Haiti earthquake. It's such an easy way to give, like the PetSmart button.
