Our mission:
In partnership with Boston Medical Center and UMass Memorial Health System, Cold Feet Warm Hearts offers new socks, shoes, masks and other articles of clothing to those leaving the hospital and those in need.
Hello friends!
I am passionate about helping the people of Houston and Boston. As a medical student committed to advancing health equity, I believe in meeting people where they are in their healthcare journey and promoting the overall well-being and dignity of the unhoused community. Join me in creating positive change, one pair of socks, one piece of clothing, and one life at a time.

Why are socks and shoes important?
Access to shoes and socks is often limited for the homeless men and women living in shelters and on the streets. Rain-soaked feet, ill-fitting shoes, constant standing and diseases like diabetes take their toll on the feet of homeless people. Every day, homeless people experience a wide range of foot ailments ranging from trench foot to skin infections, from frostbite to nail diseases. The best way to prevent such conditions is to keep feet clean and dry, which are both very difficult if you spend your days outside.
