This woman bought the last 204 pairs of shoes from a local Payless so she could donate them to Nebraska flood victims
Addy Tritt saw that all pairs of shoes were on sale for $1 at her local Payless in Hays, Kansas, last week, and something told her to go. The retail value of the shoes was around $6,000, Tritt said. She said she negotiated for 2.5 hours until she could get all of the shoes in the store -- 204 pairs -- for pennies each, and only paid $100 for the bill.The store needed to sell the shoes anyway.
The shoes were delivered to Nebraska on Monday, in a tractor trailer alongside water and supplies donated by others, the sorority said. A local agricultural science program in Nebraska will distribute the donations to those in need.Out of the 204 pairs of shoes she bought at Payless, 164 were baby shoes, two were men's and the rest were women's, Tritt said.The majority of the shoes she bought were for women and children.
