About On a Shoestring

Our Vision

About Us


My name is Allie Haddad and I am one of the founders of On a Shoestring. I am a college student and I have been fortunate enough to travel and see different lifestyles and cultures across the world. This inspired me to make a difference in the community and across the country by helping those in need. I plan to do this by raising money and school supplies to provide assistance to those living in low-income families and areas across the country.

About Us

My name is Jordan Haddad and I am a senior in Highschool. Being from the Milwaukee area has opened my eyes and made me realize how much help the Milwaukee Public schools need. It made me think how fortunate I am to be attending one of the best public schools in the state and I want to help other children get the education they deserve. I plan to do this by raising money and school supplies for the low income areas.

About Us


My name is Haley Haddad and I am one of the founders of this organization. I am a junior in Highschool and I am looking to influence the lives of children living off low financial means. As I continue to get older and grow as a person I have realized that there are so many people in need of basic necessities like school supplies that are often taken for granted. I want to help people living in low income areas and embellish communities across the country.
