Ashleigh Dempster is a mom of three who lives in Los Angeles. When she was pregnant with her second child, she decided to start a business from home designing kids shoes and selling them online.When I started AKID five years ago I was raising and still am a young family, Dempster said. The best resource for me was to put the shoes on my kids to see how they fit and get feedback from them. Happy Tails for This Dog and the Veteran Who Adopted Her For the past five years, the success of Ashleighs startup has relied on the brutal honesty of her three children. From launching her company to testing out products, her entire business started from home and continues to run from a laptop on her kitchen counter.My kids are going to tell you if they are not comfortable or they dont like it, Dempster said while running after her toddler daughter who had rushed to the front door wearing pink leopard print kicks to greet her two older brothers who had returned home from school.Dempsters tiny home business has now become one of the most popular shoe trends amongthe worlds most photographed moms. Beyonc, Kim Kardashian, Drew Barrymore, Jessica Alba, Jaime King, and Selma Blair are just some of the celebrities whose kids sport AKID kicks.Without a doubt, AKID is a true homegrown LA success story. But now its time to give back.This week, Dempster will donate over 6,000 pairs of shoes to the Good Foundation, an organization founded by Comedian Jerry Seinfelds wife, Jessica Seinfeld.The shoes will benefit families that live below the poverty line, said Alan-Michael Graves, a Director at the Good Foundation office in Los Angeles. And at this time of year, support those families getting ready to go back to school.The retail value of Dempsters donation rounds up to approximately half a million dollars.This is a substantial huge donation for us here, Graves said. Shoes are the last thing that people think about when thinking of families in need.The Good Warehouse is filled with donated car seats, strollers, clothes, and school supplies. All of which Graves says are important. But there is an overall lack of shoes for children: an essential item for kids to be able to participate in simple day to day activities like walk, play, and go to school.Most people dont think about shoes, Graves said. They are a high need, and a high priority in the families that we serve.Dempster believes proper footwear is of the utmost importance for every child.There are children going to school with shoes that arent in good condition, that dont fit them, she said. And that causes a whole bunch of problems.The problems shes referring to include health, hygiene, and bullying.This need was the catalyst behind her donation of thousands of AKID shoes for children the same age as her own that will be brand new, well-made, and also happen to be stylish enough for Hollywoods A-listers.And while the Good Foundation helps families across the nation, the AKID donation will go right back into Dempsters community.AKID brand started in LA, I live in LA, two out of three of my kids are born in LA, so it was really important for me to know that this donation was supporting families in LA, she said.The Good Foundation serves communities locally from Long Beach to Palmdale to Riverside County. But they have a strong focus on the communities in Watts, West and South LA, Compton, and Lancaster.Drawing from her own experience as a parent, Dempster believes it takes a village to raise children: a village where everyone helps each other rise.I know that Im helping families that have kids just like mine, and are working just as hard as I am to make the best life for my children our children, she said.While this is her largest donation to date, Dempster hopes that as her startup business grows, so will her donations to the local community.For more videos like this one from Aliya Jasmine follow NBCLA on social media.Photo Credit: Aliya Jasmine

A zoo, as a rule, isnt the quietest of places.There are snorts and growlers and chirps and grunts and caws, sometimes all at once, creating a wildlife-lovely cacophony that can send a human visitors ear tilting in all directions, the better to soak up the aural splendor. Weekend: Griffith Observatory Moon Landing Fest But sometimes, at a large animal park, after the resident growlers and grunters have gone to bed, a person has the chance to don a pair of headphones and shake it, even though, to an outside observer, theres no sound at all in the environment.There is music, however, inside those wearable sneakers, creating the contemporary concept of a silent disco. And a silent disco shall pop up, with style and groove-ready hits, at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens on Friday, July 19. Wee Pups to Nearly Take Wing at the Wiener Nationals For thats when the second Roaring Nights of the season will dance into the animal park, bringing an interesting combination of ways to consume cool sounds.Live music, of the 80s variety, is on the docket Fast Times will be on stage, as are DJ-spun tunes, too.And, yes, there shall be a HUSH silent disco, so you may see people swaying on a seemingly quiet dance floor. Perhaps youll even be among the headphone-happy revelers, people whove entered their own wonderful world for a few minutes of dance-fun pleasure.Roaring Nights is solely for the 21 set, a rather unusual focus when it comes to any zoo. But giving the spirited sips and adult vibe of the evening, it is, indeed, a party made just for grown-up growlers and grunters.Well, maybe we humans dont growl and grunt as much as the zoos beasties, but at the end of a long week many of us can find ourselves in quite a growly, grunt-ready mindset.Which means a visit to Roaring Nights is probably just the ticket.There are only four a year, and this is night 2, so be sure to swing by to de-grunt, de-growl, and get your silent disco delight on in a place thats not usually too silent.Photo Credit: Jamie Pham
