Robeez

I wanted to post this message in order to let other families know that Robeez is really great for donating slippers to bring to orphanages around the world.... For those who don't know Robeez are soft leather sole slippers for little children that are recommended by Chiropractors because it is just like walking bare feet. They are also very cute and great when you have hardwood floors to help the children from slipping around when they start walking.

Anyways I had contacted the company (thanks to another adoptive mom that gave me this same information) and they have sent me (donated) a lot of slippers...The only thing the lady told me on the phone was that I had to pay for the shipping to have them sent to my house. She told me that it would be approx $10-15.00. Soo when the package arrived today, the delivery man told me that I didnt have to pay anything. I have attached a pictures of all 25 pairs of them below.

I just went on the Robeez website and clicked on the "donation" button and wrote a quick note to them. A few days later a lady called me and said they would be thrilled to donate some slippers and also said she would love a picture of the Orphanage Director receiving the slippers if possible. What a wonderful Company to do this!!!

I agree! What a great idea! I won't be traveling for a while, but I've been looking for ideas for donations. I've been to the site and could not find the donation button. Can you let me know where it is?

Wow what a great idea. I'm going to have to try this in a few months. Since you've posted this I'm sure they're going to be bombarded with requests. so I'll wait, maybe I'll have a better chance them.
