Thank You to SHOE BOXX
Here at Fonua Ola we come across many families that don't have the resources to buy new shoes for the children or themselves so we are very grateful for the support of Shoe Boxx Charity Founder Mrs Leonie Leaver and her team for the donation of many boxes of new shoes that will be given out to our families and children just in time for winter. If you need shoes please contact our main office or visit us at 32 Station Road, Otahuhu, Auckland.
