"Mum, my dancing shoes are too tight!"
"Again?"
"Again!"
It was one day about five years ago. Both of us were asking our mum for new dancing shoes. Our feet had grown. It was time for a quick stop at the dancewear store.
"Didn't I just buy you shoes two months ago?" Mum said as she walked into our room. She emptied out our drawers in search of footwear.
And guess what she found! In the drawers were countless bags of old dancing shoes and more than 100 costumes from our years of performance. We sat in our room and thought about what to do with them. Then, Donate2Dance was born. Yes, donate, we wanted to donate! We wanted to collect no-used dancewear and shoes, and give them to dancers in need.
Why did we want to do this? Well, my sister and I were lucky enough to have danced for ten years. We were lucky enough to have been able to take lessons from really great teachers. We were lucky to be in a family that could buy new shoes and dancewear whenever we needed them. Many kids love to dance, but not everyone is as lucky as us. Many young dancers cannot afford new shoes or dancewear as they grow.
So far, we have helped more than 60,000 dancers around the world. Many people, including some famous dancers, have joined us. Every day, we come home and see boxes of donations from warm-hearted dancers.
It has been amazing to see all these dancers coming together to support one another. We love reading the thank-you letters we get from the receivers. It's a great feeling to know that every day, we are helping someone.

“妈妈，我的舞鞋太紧了！”
“又紧了？”
“又紧了！”
那是大约五年前的一天。我们俩都向妈妈要新舞鞋。我们的脚长大了。是时候去舞装店逛逛了。
“我不是两个月前才给你们买的鞋吗？”妈妈走进我们的房间时说道。她把我们的抽屉都翻空了，想找找鞋子。
猜猜她发现了什么！抽屉里有无数袋旧舞鞋，还有我们多年表演留下的100多套演出服。我们坐在房间里，思考着该怎么处理它们。然后，“捐赠舞装”（Donate2Dance）就诞生了。是的，捐赠，我们想要捐赠！我们想要收集不再使用的舞装和舞鞋，把它们送给有需要的舞者。
我们为什么想要这么做呢？嗯，我和我的姐姐很幸运，已经跳了十年舞了。我们很幸运，能够跟非常优秀的老师学习。我们很幸运，生活在一个只要我们需要，就能买新鞋和新舞装的家庭里。很多孩子喜欢跳舞，但不是每个人都像我们这么幸运。很多年轻的舞者随着成长，买不起新鞋或新舞装。
到目前为止，我们已经帮助了全世界超过6万名舞者。很多人，包括一些著名的舞者，都加入了我们。每天，我们回到家，都会看到一箱箱来自热心舞者的捐赠品。
看到所有这些舞者团结起来互相支持，真是太棒了。我们喜欢读我们从受赠者那里收到的感谢信。知道我们每天都在帮助别人，这种感觉很棒。
