KNOT A REGULAR FUNDRAISER_1200x1200

All Done!!

Thank you so much for your donations!  Over $2000 was raised for Aurora House, and 5000 pairs of shoes were donated to developing countries!

200 bags…

WOW!!

What a Shoe Drive does.

Would you ever think that your gently worn, used or new shoes could benefit Aurora House residents and families?  Well they can and here’s how!

Young Entrepreneur

A Shoe Drive is a creative way to help raise money for Aurora House AND help those less fortunate than ourselves, in developing nations like Haiti, India, and Tanzania. Funds2Orgs.com (our partner in this endeavor) pays organizations like Aurora House for gently used/new shoes. They then ship the shoes to people in developing countries and teach them to set up micro-enterprises selling the shoes. This possibility can help families mired in poverty to begin climbing out of that hopelessness.   You might say this is the modern day version of “Give a man a fish…” But, substitute “sneaker” for the fish…

Aurora House will be paid based on poundage of shoes, so the more we collect, the better!

From Our Families

The compassion and love they [the staff of Aurora House Comfort Care] showed to our Mom for the last six weeks [of her life] will never be forgotten. What more could a family want than when your Mom tells you she is so lucky to be at that home.

“I know my mom was in the best place for care, love, and attention. Thank you for all you do!”

“When I think about the house and the time we spent there, instead of painful and heart-breaking, I actually remember it with a fondness and the sense of peace my mom and I both experienced there.”

“I miss all the many friends I met and got to know who showed so much compassion to both of us (her mom–the resident and herself).”

“There are just no words to express how we feel for the honor, respect, caring, and love that not only my father received, but our whole family from everyone at Aurora House.”

“Not only did you extend your hands in a time of need, you opened your hearts to ‘strangers’ who didn’t know where to turn for help.”

“There was a calmness, love, and security I felt there and actually missed when I left. I could never express the gratefulness in my heart.”
