My Story
My name is Aadiya Dasgupta, and I am a rising senior who founded Warmer Soles with a vision. Ever since I was in fifth grade, I noticed how much my grandparents cherished a good pair of warm socks. To them, nothing else mattered if their soles were warm. This simple but profound observation stayed with me, highlighting how such a basic item could bring comfort and security. Inspired by their appreciation, I started keeping pairs of socks in my mom's car, and together, we would distribute them to the homeless during the colder months. What began as a small act of kindness soon grew into a passionate mission to ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, could experience the warmth and care that a simple pair of socks can provide.
