When the shoe fits
For the kids in Camp Rise Up and the other children The Floating Hospital serves, “it’s all pretty much the same story. They can’t afford shoes, they’re wearing shoes too small for them, and they’re all hand-me-downs,” according to Dr. Meghan Miller, Director of Health Eduction at The Floating Hospital.
