Buy Shoes. Save Lives.

I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me


We are a few Americans living as civilians in Iraq who want to do something to contribute to the future of these wonderful people. In order to accomplish that, we sell hand-made Iraqi shoes that are truly amazing. We use all the proceeds to fund heart surgeries for children who would otherwise die without some sort of outside help.

I'd like to meet:


THE POOR - We love to meet impoverished Iraqi children who don't stand a chance at living unless someone helps them get outside the country for heart surgery.

AND

THE POWERFUL - We also love to meet generous people who have enough vision to partner with us in using our resources to make others' lives better.
