NJ Couple Buys Out Entire Payless Store & Donates All the Shoes to a Women’s Shelter!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I am also mad I didn’t think to do something like this as well. I LOVE Payless and I am still super sad it went out of business. SO MANY of my favorite shoes are from there. (I’m not joking).
Susan Cook and Patrick Riordan spent $247 to buy all 247 pairs of shoes left in a Payless store. The shoe chain is going out of business. They then made a huge charitable donation
“It took a while and a couple transactions,” Cook said of the multiple receipts it took. Not all the purchases could fit on one.
Cook and Riordan donated them to Womanspace, a shelter and rehabilitation program in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, that serves families affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.
“It’s a really wonderful organization and we were really blessed to be able to help them,” Riordan said.
Here’s ANOTHER story about a women from Arkansas who did the same thing with her daughter, and she spent over $20,000!
