Slippers

I am deeply moved by this project of Auntile Lynn’s.

This is really something—slippers is just something we can easily buy; but it opened my eyes to see that there can be others who hardly can afford one. I am a lover of slippers; but I never have thought the way Auntie Lynn does. There are really Saints in this world. If this is what we call them.

Auntie Lynn’s 2008 Christmas Wish Slippah Project needs donations for 3,000 pairs of rubber slippers for needy children who would otherwise go barefoot.

Lynn Vasquez began the annual project three years ago at Honolulu’s Mayor Wright Housing where she is a community volunteer.

Last year, she bought 1,000 pairs and delivered them to children at the Kamehameha and Kaahumanu Homes, and homeless children on the beaches of Waianae.

This year she has added Kuhio Park Terrace, Palolo Housing, Institute of Human Services, and shelters in Waianae and on the Leeward Coast.
