Pasos for Oak Cliff, a non-profit, is set up by Jesse Acosta, a high school teacher, and Alejandra Zendejas, a math tutor. We both consider ourselves sneakerheads.
As sneakerhead educators and members of the community, we are fully aware that parents and guardians struggle to supply some basic necessities for their children - this is especially true when it comes to shoes.
As a result, we decided to turn our LOVE for sneakers into a proactive start up - Pasos for Oak Cliff. The goal of Pasos for Oak Cliff is to give students new shoes. The lack of good quality shoes leads to discomfort, ridicule, bullying, and isolation. We can prevent that from happening, but we cannot do it alone, we need YOUR SUPPORT.
We are asking TEACHERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, and PARENTS to RECOMMEND a STUDENT who could use a new pair of shoes. Parents may recommend their own child. Requirements are as followed:
-
Student lives in Oak Cliff, Dallas, or surrounding cities (Oak Cliff students will have priority) or San Antonio, and Austin.
-
Student comes from a low-income background
-
Guardians have been economically impacted by COVID-19.
-
Proof of Income Required (if not in hand, family will be contacted)
Fill out the recommendation form below. STUDENTS LIVING IN THE OAK CLIFF / SAN ANTONIO / AUSTIN WILL HAVE PRIORITY.
NOTE: If you want to recommend more than one student, you will need to fill out a new form for each student. Only 2 PAIR OF SHOES are guaranteed per family. If we can provided more than two shoes, we will.
