Meet the Founder

Daniel Matea

Daniel first started Heart & Soles Ministries by sending one special needs child and his cousins' shoes. The child had an infected foot and his family could not afford shoes to protect his foot from worsening. Daniel realized that many children may forever go without footware. Daniel set out to make a difference locally in Ohio, and afar in the Philippines. Through your donations, churches & other charitable organizations, HSM has become one of the fastest-growing charities around. Today, HSM supplies thousands of shoes, sandals, and boots domestically and abroad. His goal is to someday be able to supply shoes to every child in need all over the world.
