Sneakerheads hoarding pairs or flipping them for personal profit could learn a lesson from 7-year-old Mercy Frase.

The youngster recently broke her 5,000 pair goal in a shoe drive she put together for charity Soles4Souls. According to WDTV, Frase has collected 5,400 pairs since April, and plans to keep going till the end of September.

Mercy was in school when she broke the 5,000 pair mark and got the news from her parents.

"I didn't know I reached the goal, but my mommy and daddy told me," says Mercy in the video above.
