Hi! I’m Mylan.

​

I started Mylan’s Shoe Closet because I saw some students at my school getting teased for their shoes, or not having shoes that fit right, and I wanted to help. Some families can’t always afford new shoes, and some students may even be experiencing homelessness. I just felt like nobody should have to worry about that.

As part of my Beyond The Bricks Youth: Ignite Your Impact service learning project, I launched Mylan’s Shoe Closet at East Iredell Middle School in Statesville, NC. The closet provides clean, good-quality shoes for students who need them because everyone deserves to feel confident and comfortable. Now, the closet is also open to students in the Affordable Housing For the Carolinas service area (North Carolina and South Carolina, submit a request below)!

Thank you for checking out my page! I hope you’ll think about donating to Affordable Housing For the Carolinas to help keep the closet stocked. Just click the Donate button in the upper right corner of the screen. And if you’d like to start a shoe closet at your own school, I’d love to share how I got started—just email me at info@ahftc.org.

Let’s work together to make sure every student has shoes they can feel proud of!
