AND there are 1.5 BILLION people that have never owned a pair of shoes!<br \/>\nRoss Medical Education Center\u2019s Davison and Port Huron locations joined forces with Shoes For Love and collected shoes for a very needy cause. We collected shoes of any size, any kind, and any condition. The shoes in good condition will be donated directly to orphans in Africa, Haiti and Ecuador.  While the shoes that need some repair will be re-purposed by those who don\u2019t have a job which will not only create an income for someone in need, but a small percentage is also donated back to the orphanage.<br \/>\nWith a final count together between Davison and Port Huron, 450 pairs of shoes were collected!!<br \/>\nDavison\u2019s Dental Instructor, Lisa Thompson personally knows Tina Timmons, who was our main contact. Tina was able to provide the website and Facebook for her contacts. The Shoes For Love website is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dandoamor.org\" title=\"Shoes for Love\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.dandoamor.org<\/a> and the Facebook is Dando Amor and Shoes 4 Love.  Travis Gugelman, founder of Dando Amor, also has a personal Facebook account as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that 680 million pairs of shoes are thrown away in the USA each year?
