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.

Billy4Kids, led by Billy Lerner and Marcella Di Martin, has donated hundreds of shoes to children in Haiti, Africa, and Brazil, combatting parasitic diseases and bringing awareness to global health issues caused by poverty and lack of footwear.

Marcella De Martin, Brazilian-born activist and wife of Billy Lerner, has been officially named ambassador for Billy4Kids. Her global outreach and advocacy help combat parasitic disease among children in Africa, Brazil, Haiti, and Belize through shoe donations and awareness campaigns.

Marcella De Martin, global outreach coordinator for the Billy4Kids Foundation, led missions to Belize, Jamaica, and Honduras, deepening the foundation’s impact through school visits, hospital outreach, and direct support to underserved children. These visits strengthened partnerships and highlighted long-term solutions for child poverty and health.

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.
