Slippahs for the Keiki

A dream in 2005, sparked by a simple question posed on HawaiiThreads, became reality through the generous support and donations from an online community.

“What do you want for Christmas?” was the question. Auntie Lynn’s response: “I wish for all the children of Mayor Wright Housing (MWH) to have a pair of rubber slippers so they won’t have to go barefoot.” That Christmas, her wish came true.

Christmas 2007 is fast approaching and Auntie Lynn wants to keep the MWH Slippah Project tradition going. Over $400 has already been donated and bloggers are helping spread the word about the drive. One blogger, known as Skeet, has even offered to match funds up to $100 above the amount she’s already given.

Every child should have the necessities, including footwear. Auntie Lynn and her many supporters are helping to ensure just that. Won’t you join us in helping make the wishes of the keiki (children) of MWH come true? Click here to donate. Donations of any size are appreciated — it only takes a couple of bucks to buy a pair of slippers, but it means so much to the child who receives it. Get your donation in before the end of November so Auntie Lynn can buy and distribute the slippers in time for Christmas.
