Addy Tritt went into her local Payless shoe store in Hays, Kansas, and bought out the store. Then, the 25-year-old donated the shoes.

The recent graduate of Kansas' Fort Hays State noticed Payless was going out of business and offered to buy the shoes it had left. Tritt said she spent two hours on the phone with the corporate office and was able to negotiate a deal, paying only $100 for 204 pair of shoes valued at around $6,000.


Tritt donated all of the shoes to Nebraska flood victims. "I'm Catholic and I believe that it's just part of God's plan for me to help people," the 25-year-old graduate teaching assistant told CNN. "Whether it's volunteering in a classroom or donating, that's what I'm going to do."
