MEET TEAGEN
9-year-old Teagan Carper has collected more than 50,000 pairs of shoes for Soles4Souls!. It all started on her ninth birthday, when she opted out of the typical wish list and instead asked friends and family to donate gently used shoes. This small gesture – inspired by a documentary on the Disney Channel about another young woman doing the same thing – ballooned to a goal of collecting 25,000.
Her collection started slow and she and her family were getting discouraged. But that quickly turned around when a local church collected 7,000 pairs toward her goal, local fire stations and elementary school children collected shoes for her and Birkenstock set up a trailer in their lot to help her reach and exceed her goal by collecting more than 17,000 pairs! Teagan and her family hope to travel with Soles4Souls soon to distribute new shoes to children in need.
