Question

    At the age of 5, Nicholas Lowinger visited a homeless shelter(庇护所) with his mom. While being there, he wanted to show off his new shoes. However, with his mom’s guidance, he realized this would not be a good idea. That is because when he looked around, many of the kids did not have shoes or had shoes that were worn out(破烂的).

Nicholas then learned that some of the kids shared their shoes with the member of their family and missed school because another family member was wearing the shoes that day. He noticed that some children had wounds (伤口) on their feet because of wearing shoes that were not the right size. Nicholas then started giving away his used shoes and clothes to the homeless.

A few years later, when it came to perform a service project for his company. Nicholas knew exactly what he wanted to do. It was when his charity (慈善), Gotta Have Sole Foundation, was born.

His charity focuses on providing new shoes for homeless kids to give them something that not only fits them, but is truly theirs. Since he began, his charity has provided new shoes for over 45,000 children in homeless shelters in 38 states across the USA!

Nicholas recently started a new program called Serving Love, which provides sports shoes for poor children so that they can take part in the sport they like.
