‘Shoe Your Support!’

You all remember the fundraiser I was passionately involved with, OnyaAid, where we raised $6000 to donate to the QLD Flood Appeal Relief fund? Our contribution may have been small in the scheme of things, but it’s all the little people helping out that contributes to the grand tally – more than $50 million has been raised so far.

Lot’s of fashion entities have been getting involved, and one that is making its mark this week is Zomp Shoez (Brisbane only, come on rest of Aus!).

The Zomp shoez store in James Street, Brisbane was forced to sandbag the shop and close for 5 days over the period of the floods as a precaution to the invasion of water through the area. Lucky for the shoes, they all stayed dry but other stores in the area were not so lucky. This is Zomp’s chance to help them out.

For the week of Feb 14 to Feb 20, the James St Brisbane store will donate 20% of the week’s turnover to the flood and cyclone appeals for QLDers. If that’s not a damn good reason to buy shoes, I don’t know what is!

So if you are in Brisbane, buy shoes for a good cause. And when your mum asks how much were they? you can honestly tell her they were worth every penny.
