Story behind the Odd-Sox
Have you ever thrown out your odd socks? This Odd-Sox story is all about two 10 year old girls who collect odd socks. Their aim is to provide socks to all those who suffer in winter and make sure they have a warm feet. When you have warm feet in the cold weather, it makes your whole body warm. This donation campaign is to help the homeless on the streets of Toronto.
The project is named as the “odd sox” project which asks people to donate their unwanted socks. Both the girls found so many people homeless on the streets and they really wanted to help them out. A Toronto based organization that provides goods and clothing to those in need helped the girls to make the campaign a success. Its really inspiring and it was inspired by the idea that everyone has an odd sock at home that they wanted to get rid of. From the mismatched socks they found a real idea that could help so many poors. The two girls Goldhar and Rangel have started with a website, odd-sox.orgwhich is really a true inspiration.
