Please Write Ignite Apparel
December 5, 2007 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
Ignite Apparel is a clothing company that donates every penny above production costs to a “cause”… such as Buy Shoes. Save Lives. They base their decisions on who to donate to on the amount of feedback they receive each month for a given organization. Please email fuelthechange@igniteapparel.com and let them know about Buy Shoes. Save Lives., the work we’ve done so far with your help, and the work we’ve yet to do.
Thanks! Jeremy

A Little Google Help, Please…
November 26, 2007 by Jeremy · 1 Comment
Tonight I searched the word “shoes” on Google and found the first reference to Buy Shoes. Save Lives. on page 80. I admit, it was a little disheartening.
So this is a plea that you all go guerilla on Google and help catapult BSSL into the single digit pages of Google’s search for shoes. Go to Google.com and type in the word “shoes.” Then browse the pages until you find the homepage for Buy Shoes. Save Lives. Do not forget to CLICK that link, thereby logging Buy Shoes. Save Lives. as your destination for your shoe search.
If enough people do this, coupled with other traffic, it’s possible that we will start to receive more incidental traffic, sales, and surgeries as a result.
Additionally, as you browse for “shoes” you will see many sites dedicated to eco-shoes, vegan shoes, and fashionable shoes. Not to mention shoes that somehow make you do good while looking good. Please go guerilla on those sites, as well, and hit the comment sections hard with references to BSSL, asking people to check us out while telling a brief blurb on our story.
You guys own this thing… without you none of this happens. So thank you for prioritizes Iraqi children in the way you browse the web today. It’s a serious 5 minute contribution that just might make a difference in the world. Sincerely, Jeremy and Cody

Website Updated
October 13, 2007 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
For those of you who read the blog via RSS, come on over to the website and see some of the changes we’ve made. The most notable of them is the fact that we now have a child on our homepage whom we are really trying to send for surgery ASAP. We hope to make this more personal this way - so you see who you’re helping.
Other changes are minor, but include our other networking sites now listed in the footer and some other minutia like a “CUSTOMER RETURN FORM” for those few who need to return mis-sized shoes.
Thanks for returning… we like second-time visitors just the same!

An Intraoffice Memo
August 30, 2007 by Jeremy · Leave a Comment
Today I spent a lot of the day working on paper work for children here, trying to get them through to [Shevet]. There are 42 kids [paperwork] that are being flown out for medical screening…a huge step in them actually getting their surgery! 42 kids! I found out that another child that has been really sick lately because of his bad heart has been approved to have surgery in two months!
So I’m so excited now just about the progress being made, and have been assured over and over again today about how good this cause is. So when you get overwhelmed or stressed about the details of running this business, or feel like we’re getting no where just remember these kids. I wish you could see their faces and meet them with me when they come in the office. It’s worth it. Every dime we spend or lose, every e-mail and phone call, it’s worth it.
So keep it up! Don’t hold back.
Your friendly BSSL motivational speaker.
