New Shoes

A year ago, Live & Learn was helping Anna prepare to start college and advance her career. Then, when Covid-19 hit, she lost her job and her opportunity to go to school. Now, Live & Learn is helping her get back to work.

In late December, Anna came to the office to renew her bus pass and complete some paperwork. Staff quickly noticed that Annaโ€™s shoes were falling apart. Embarrassed, she said, “Moneyโ€™s so tight right now. I’m not buying anything my children don’t absolutely need, I just can’t.”

Thanks to a generous donor, there are boxes of new Converse shoes in the office. Anna was able to walk out wearing a new pair. Thank you to all the donors who continue to support and empower Live & Learn women during this pandemic. In early January, Anna began a new job, and she is focused on starting college this summer.
