honoring my stepmom on bday75

Happy 75th birthday, Bonnie!
 
As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I decided to gift you by giving money to someone else.
 
Yeah, maybe that doesn't sound like a good present, but I know you will be pleased.
 
This is the fellow I chose especially for you.
 
His name is Munkhbat, he's 49 years old, and Kiva describes him as "modest and hard-working".
 
Believe it or not, he's a cobbler.
 
No, not like peach or blackberry! LOL!
 
The man makes shoes.
 
Right?!
 
In this day and age, there are still people out there who craft shoes by hand.
 
He must do quality work, as he sells five pairs of shoes every day from his home in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
 
Pretty amazing!
 
But you know what I like most about this?
 
His favorite part of his business is seeing people wearing his shoes.
 
Very nice.
 
So, to help him buy more materials to make more shoes, I gave him your birthday money.
 
That $25 will go a long way over there!
 
Maybe one day he'll be able to sell his shoes on the internet; one never knows.
 
So, happy birthday to you, dear friend and stepmom!
