I always had a heart to help other people. I have been helping people since I was about 5 years old when my dad ran a bus ministry for a local church and seen all the people in need. I couldn't believe all the kids and families that didn't have food, clothes, or even homes to live in.
When I heard of Tennessee H.U.G.S. I told my dad that this is something I really wanted to do. People are always buying New Shoes and don't know what to do with the old ones. And I thought, what better way to help is to Donate your Old Shoes to help someone else.
"Donating is simple. Pretty much everyone has a pair of shoes they aren't using... but these shoes can be big blessings to those in need. You don't even have to make a trip to Walmart. You simply need to look in your closet, and pull out your gently used shoes. Then, give them to us, and we will make sure they go to children and their families who need them. We accept gently used men's, women's, and children's shoes and our goal is to deliver these to families in the Appalachian Mountains, disaster areas, and homeless shelters where they are needed." (Olivia Wright)
Cleveland H.U.G.S. is a Part of Tennessee H.U.G.S. which was founded in 2008 by 12 year old Olivia Wright whose heart was led to find a way to help other children just like her. She could not believe that there were children right here in the United States that did not have shoes to wear. So she created Tennessee H.U.G.S. to help these children obtain shoes and to encourage other children to open up other H.U.G.S. Chapters all over the country.
Mission
Our mission is to provide gently used shoes to the children of the Appalachian Mountains , AND any place where there is a great need for shoes.
We have 2 goals for H.U.G.S.
1. Meet the needs of others, all while showing them the love of Jesus.
2. Involve other people, especially children, and have them begin their own H.U.G.S. organizations, as well as encourage other kids to get out in their communities and make a difference.

Celiac Disease (CD) is a lifelong inherited autoimmune condition affecting children and adults. When people with CD eat foods that contain gluten, it creates an immune-mediated toxic reaction that causes damage to the small intestine and does not allow food to be properly absorbed. Even small amounts of gluten in foods can affect those with CD and cause health problems. Damage can occur to the small bowel even when there are no symptoms present.
Gluten is the common name for the proteins in specific grains that are harmful to persons with celiac disease. These proteins are found in ALL forms of wheat(including durum, semolina, spelt, kamut, einkorn and faro) and related grains rye, barley and triticale and MUST be eliminated.

Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a rare blood disorder. In
DBA, the bone marrow (the center of the bone where blood
cells are made) does not make enough red blood cells that
carry oxygen throughout the body.
DBA is usually diagnosed during the first year of life. Some
people have a family history of the disorder. About one-quarter
of people with DBA have a known genetic cause. In many
people with DBA, we do not know the cause.
There are about 25-35 new cases of DBA per year in the
United States and Canada.
DBA affects both boys and girls equally. It occurs in every
ethnic group. If you have DBA there is up to a 50 percent chance that each of your children will have DBA. Symptoms can be very mild to very severe.
People with DBA have symptoms common to all other types of anemia, including pale skin, sleepiness, rapid heartbeat, and heart murmurs. In some cases there are no obvious physical signs of DBA. About
one-quarter of people with DBA have abnormal features involving the face, head, and hands, especially the thumbs. They may also have heart and kidney defects. Many children are short for their age and may start puberty later than normal.

· Breast cancer is a type of cancer where cells in the breast tissue divide and grow without normal control. It is a widespread and random disease, striking women and men of all ages and races. It is the most prevalent cancer in the world today, with about 1.3 million people diagnosed annually. The exact cause of the disease is unknown, and at this time, there is no cure.
· But there is hope. Thanks to heightened awareness, early detection through screening, improved treatment methods and increased access to breast health services, people have a greater chance of survival than ever before.

1 in 88 Children are affected with Autism.
Autism is one of a group of serious developmental problems called autism spectrum disorders that appear in early childhood — usually before age 3. Though symptoms and severity vary, all autism spectrum disorders affect a child's ability to communicate and interact with others.
The number of children diagnosed with autism appears to be rising. It's not clear whether this is due to better detection and reporting of autism or a real increase in the number of cases or both.
While there is no cure for autism, intensive, early treatment can make a big difference in the lives of many children with the disorder.
