Why?
Single mom families are a growing segment of our population. Nearly half, not all, of single mom families live in poverty. Their children are hungry and can’t focus on school. Their M-STEP scores prove this. Our goal is to change that.

We address this issue by helping single moms get a better than minimum wage job by helping them get a career education. She can then provide better for her family. With a better job, she can buy better food. With better nutrition, her children will do better in school.
By helping pay for living and daycare expenses, we make up for the loss of income (from her job while in school) and the loss of child support during school time.
