Feel Good Story: Woman Buys Store Out of Shoes to Donate to Flood Victims

There’s always a possibility of finding an opportunity for good news, even in the midst of bad news.

ICYMI: Payless filed for bankruptcy in February, and all 2,100 of their stores will forever close their doors by the end of May.

One of their locations in Kansas was having a liquidation sale, getting rid of their last 204 pairs of shoes for $1 a pair, and 25 year old Addy Tritt was not about to pass up that deal.

She offered up $100 for ALL of the shoes, and at 49 cents a pair, the manager at that Payless location accepted.

Addy didn’t buy the shoes for herself, though. She donated all of the pairs to the people in Nebraska who’ve battling the worst flooding in the state’s history.

She went on Facebook looking for advice on how to deliver them, and got some help from a sorority at Fort Hays State University in Kansas who delivered the shoes in Nebraska this past weekend.

This isn’t just a one-off moment of kindness either. Addy volunteers and donates to good causes whenever she can, but does so with the mentality that it’s just “part of what it means to be human.”
