"Alejandra, which is my girlfriend, my co-founder, and myself, we’re huge sneakerheads. If you don't know what that means, it’s just somebody who loves shoes. We're both educators," said Jesse Acosta, co-founder of Pasos for Oak Cliff."My first year as a teacher, I noticed that kids with worn-out shoes were just more likely to get bullied, sort of be more shy, maybe miss class a little more often," Acosta said.
"Usually, the way we give out the shoes is by, so my co-founder, Alejandra, and I, we select the shoes we're going to give to their kids," he explained. "Usually, we'll put them in this bag and the kids don't know what they're getting until they get that bag and they open it up."With only a few weeks left until school starts, parents are thankful to have back to school drives like the one at New Light Church in Mesquite.
