What's your name? Gary. Dairy? Gary.


"We call him Lactose."
"Yeah, my friends call me cow juice."
Oh, the conversations that happen at Raglands are the best.

Anyway;;

Ever wanted to help make a change but didn't know how?
I have an answer for you. :)
Toms Shoes has set a goal to be able to give away 30,000 shoes to kids in Ethiopia in 30 days this holiday season. Now you may wonder, "Okay, so how does that allow me to help?" Simple answer, really. For every pair of shoes (or any of their items) that YOU purchase, Toms gives a pair of shoes to a child in need. Great cause. But now some of you may be wondering, "Why do they need shoes?" and/or "What if I don't want slip on shoes? Those just aren't my style." Well, I have answers for both of those concerns as well. First off, they need shoes for many reasons, one in particular is this foot disease called podioconosis. This is boils upon boils on their feet and legs, eventually making them diabled. After these people are disabled, often times they are looked down upon or pushed out of society since they can no longer walk or work. That isn't very good as some of you may have noticed. So a very easy way to prevent this is to wear shoes. Podioconosis is spread through the soil and the volcanic ash in the soil. Shoes really do help. And for those of you concerned about the shoes "cramping your personal style," Toms Shoes also has bags, tshirts, hoodies, and gift cards that you can send to others so that they can buy shoes or other Toms products. They have things for toddlers to grown men and women, the variety is nearly unbelievable. So at least go check it out, spread the word, and help in this awesome cause.
