Many of us like to go barefoot when we can, but imagine never wearing shoes while you go about your daily life. After learning that millions of people in developing countries become infected with diseases from walking without shoes, Katelyn Moses decided to take action.
The Gilbert Christian High School junior organized an event in which she and about 50 classmates went without shoes for 24 hours, even coming to school barefoot.
Katelyn also raised $293 by selling bracelets for God Feet, a Queen Creek Christian ministry that provides people with shoes. The money will purchase about 30 pairs of shoes for missions serving the needy, Katelyn said in a news release.
“We are so proud of Katelyn and the students who joined her at Gilbert Christian High School,” said David Gillette, CEO and President of God Feet. “After walking on the hot Arizona pavement, over rocks and gravel, in dirt and mud it really makes you appreciate the blessings of shoes.”
