Sedgh Plastic Surgery and Dr. Jacob Sedgh are sponsoring a shoe drive to help women in need. The Walk the Walk charity event is collecting shoes to donate to the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles, California.
The shoe drive is taking place throughout the month of May. While a variety of organizations collect clothing and coats for people in need, many families, in particular women and children, lack proper footwear. The Walk the Walk charity is unique by focusing exclusively on shoes, especially shoes for mothers, the organization said.
“Walk the Walk is symbolic of mothers everywhere who work hard, lead by example and pave the way for the future,” Sedgh said. “Only a mother truly knows what it’s like to walk in a mother’s shoes.”
The charity is hoping to receive and then donate several hundred pairs of shoes. Shoes can be dropped off at or mailed to Sedgh’s office at 9201 Sunset Blvd., Suite 414, West Hollywood, California, 90069. Any type of shoe or footwear is welcome.
“In an industry that’s often viewed as being frivolous, I feel compelled to give back,” Sedgh added. “That’s why we’re asking our patients, friends and people in the community to go into their closets and find a pair of shoes to donate and make a difference in a mother’s life. We want to spread the word and involve as many people as possible to participate in this cause.”
