We love JOY International and the hope they bring to children, women, and men around the world who are trapped in or vulnerable to some of the most traumatic abuses you can imagine. Their impact is wide-spread and well-honed, including awareness and prevention programs, high-tech rescue ops, and safe homes for recovery. But most impactful of all, their team demonstrates the love and care of Jesus "for the least of these" in a truly profound, hope-giving way. We're grateful for the opportunity to walk a mile in their shoes (without shoes) to raise the funds that will enable continued impact in the months ahead. These Barefoot Miles are critical events to helping make rescue ops and restoration possible -- you are literally changing the world with your donation! Every single child is worth it.
Our $10,000 event goal is:
10 teams each raising $1,000
20 individuals each raising $500
50 individuals each raising $200... or more!
Dr. Jeff Brodsky has been barefoot "begging for the children" since July 19, 2010. Here's his story: https://www.joy.org/story
After the walk, enjoy a picnic and games with your family and friends at this beautiful park along the river! It's a great place to explore on wheels, too. BYO food and water.
