Those shoes became a symbol of hope as Manny started playing basketball, earned a college scholarship in the U.S., and began a successful career in the technology industry. In 2003, Manny and his wife, Tracie, founded Samaritan’s Feet International, a non-profit organization that shares hope with those in need by washing their feet and giving them a new pair of shoes. Now, over 8 million pairs of shoes have been distributed in 108 nations and over 450 U.S. cities.
