Jessica Simpson Wants to Send 50,000 Pairs of Shoes to Haiti
Jessica Simpson is trying to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake by organizing a shoe drive.
The singer, 29, has announced plans to team up with Nashville-based shoe charity Soles4Souls to collect at least 50,000 pairs of shoes in 50 days, which will be sent to victims in the Caribbean country.
“Let’s all do everything that we can for the tragedy in Haiti,” she says in a video clip advertising the campaign.
Meanwhile, Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief has now raised more than $61 million in donations from the general public to date.

I really like this idea as long as it gets to the people on the ground and not the government taking them and then selling them. You know what I mean. I think its much better than throwing $ that they might not see. Moneys good too but I really like the shoe idea.
