Madonna’s shoes raised $16,600 for Roma Children

According to UBNews, Madonna’s one pair of designer shoes reportedly fetched about $16,600 for Roma children at a Romania charity auction. Madonna donated one of her favourite specially made pair of autographed designer skyscraper gold heels Christian Dior shoes to a charity supporting education of Roma children, which was auctioned off at the fifth annual Ovidiu Rom Halloween Charity Ball held in Bucharest (Romania). One of the golden heels was reportedly marked with kisses and a heart by her while the other was autographed “Love Madonna”. Oscar nominated Hollywood star Ethan Hawke (Training Day) reportedly spoke at the Ball. Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out that being one of the world’s most powerful celebrities, Madonna would be very effective in focusing public opinion world over on apartheid of 15-million Roma people of Europe.
