Hope for Single Moms knows minimum wage just doesn’t cut it. And that’s why we’re here to help. If you work a minimum-wage job in West Michigan, you would have to work 73 hours a week just to afford a two-bedroom apartment. Looking at the graph, we can see choices have to be made. But we don’t think you should have to choose between paying for rent or daycare or food. We are here to help you change that.
You must do your part. Do you have a plan? If not, we can help you get one. Call for your FREE career consultation. 616-485-7594.
