Philanthropy and Personal Interests

A few days earlier, LeAnn donated several shoes from her shoe collection to single-mom fan Peggy Joyce from Cleveland, Ohio.

Peggy was hanging out on Twitter when LeAnn Tweeted that she had just finished “3 SOLID hours of closet organization”. She shared some photos of her newly-organized clothing, shoes, and accessories.

“Anything u want to donate to me?” a fan named Peggy Joyce asked. “From OH and lost job and have a 16-month-old. Bad year..I will pay for shipping. Thanks!! XO.”

After a series of back-and-forth tweets, LeAnn asked for Peggy’s shoe size, and by Friday, the shoes were ready and on their way for shipment.

“I have a few pair of flip flops for the summer and tennis shoes in your size….hope it helps,” LeAnn tweeted.

Peggy was truly grateful.

“To help a STRANGER really says something…thank you again!! When I get items I will pay it forward somehow to someone in need,” she tweeted back.

We’re impressed with LeAnn’s good deed. And lucky Peggy Joyce!
