Ugh, right in the feels! Good for her. I remember growing up not having shoes to go back to school in. My closest sibling was my brother and his foot size was way bigger than mine but that's all I had to wear.

Kids are brutal man. I remember wanting to literally kill myself in the 3rd grade because of how awful the teasing was. I would do anything to prevent a kid from feeling that.

I don't quite have that much disposable income, but I saw that the Payless closest to me was on their last day and I ended up buying out the last of their socks for kids. I dropped the socks off at my local school districts clothing closet plus my child's outgrown uniforms - kids in need of a school uniform or clothing for school are able to "shop" there with voucher their school's social worker. Underthings are always needed.
