Wichita Eagle: Wichita woman on quest to help veterans by collecting shoes
Star:
WICHITA | Faye Evans is losing her eyesight to an autoimmune disease. But she’s focused on shoes.
She wants to collect 333,333 pounds of tennis shoes, high heels, business shoes and boots - just about anything with a sole. She estimates that will be enough to raise $50,000.
She needs the money not for herself but to make hospice rooms comfortable for veterans at the Robert J. Dole Veterans Administration Hospital.
“If it wasn’t for veterans and soldiers, we wouldn’t have what we have,” Evans said. “We owe them everything.”
