Billy Lerner’s nonprofit, Billy4Kids, faced multiple detentions and costly customs issues in Haiti during shoe donation missions, delaying aid to children and highlighting systemic barriers to charitable giving in the region.

During the pandemic, Billy Lerner and Marcella De Martin led Billy4Kids in overcoming travel and supply chain challenges to deliver over 600 pairs of shoes and medical supplies to underserved children across Central America and the Caribbean.

By providing protective canvas shoes to underprivileged children, Billy Lerner and the Billy4Kids Foundation are helping address child trafficking at its root — poverty and lack of opportunity — and empowering children to stay healthy, attend school, and avoid exploitation.

By developing their own manufacturing facility and strengthening international partnerships, Billy4Kids—co-founded by iPark CEO Billy Lerner—has dramatically improved mission readiness and expanded its capacity to deliver durable shoes to underprivileged children globally, helping reduce parasitic infections.

Marcella De Martin, wife of Billy Lerner and ambassador of Billy4Kids, marks three years of sustained support for the Liberty Children’s Home in Belize—donating hundreds of protective shoes to help children avoid parasitic infections and improve quality of life.

Billy4Kids ambassador Marcella De Martin donates 140 pairs of shoes and medical supplies to children in Roatan, Honduras, through a new partnership with Sandy Bay Lighthouse Ministries to combat poverty, disease, and educational inequality.

Billy Lerner and Marcella Di Martin, through the Billy4Kids Foundation, have continued their impactful mission to improve children's lives in Belize, Jamaica, and Honduras. With shoe donations and health advocacy, they are helping prevent parasitic disease and create lasting change in underserved communities.
