February 2013 Do The Right Thing Award Winners

Aliana Hurst

In December, Alianna’s family celebrated their 5 year “forever family” anniversary – the anniversary of when Ali officially joined the family.  As Ali has grown up she has started to understand more about how she came to be adopted.  As a result of that, she has started to worry about the girls and boys who don’t have parents to care for them and over the past year, she has asked a lot of questions about how she could help them.  Then she heard about an organization called Shoes for the Orphan Souls; a humanitarian aid project which provides new shoes and socks to orphans and vulnerable children in the United States and throughout the world. She also read about a little boy who helped collect shoes and socks for the orphans and she told her parents that she would like to do the same thing.
