Firm helps with relief efforts in Philippines
Strategic Divorce Consulting, PLLC is the only official drop-off location in Michigan for the global anti-poverty organization, Soles4Souls Inc., currently working on Philippine relief efforts.
The firm is collecting shoes at its office located in the Cranbrook Professional Building, 60 West Big Beaver Road, Suite 110 in Bloomfield Hills.
“People are always looking to do something with their shoes, especially children’s shoes, since they outgrow them so fast. I signed up to collect for Soles4Souls just before this horrible disaster in the Philippines and I am so glad to help, to be doing my part,” said owner Diana Gertsmark Brown.
Soles4Souls has already committed at least 200,000 new pairs of shoes to the rescue, recovery, and rebuilding lives effort. The focus right now is on rescue, but it will hopefully soon turn toward restoration and rebuilding. This partnership will enable Soles4Souls to continue working to prevent this distress and better the lives of those in need.
After practicing law for 19 years, mostly focusing on divorce and family law, Brown launched Strategic Divorce Consulting in January, 2013.
“In my area, there is no other service like it in divorce and family law. I provide valuable and necessary help to people who do not know what steps to take before, during, and after divorce,” said Brown.
In addition to helping Soles4Souls collect shoes, Diana participates in fundraising throughout the year for children’s charities, including CARE House of Oakland County and Orchards Children’s Services.
