The winter is a tough time for low-income individuals and families. Those striving to make ends meet find themselves having to choose between warmth and other necessities like food or medicine. Can you imagine having to decide whether to keep your children warm or feed them?
Being a caregiver is a full-time job. Those who support their elderly family members do so at a cost to their personal lives and health. Our In-Home Respite Services program provides in-home companions to relieve caregivers and give them some time-off.
We know being a parent is difficult, but it’s even harder when simultaneously dealing with family issues like divorce and custody. Many single parents who need to attend court business are forced to bring their children with them due to the high costs of childcare. However, in certain instances being in court could possibly expose children to traumatic experiences as they observe the discord in family situations.
Children in foster care face so many obstacles. They are at a much higher risk of arrest, teen pregnancy, drug addiction, and low self-esteem. But, with a mentor the chances of success are limitless.
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Human trafficking is an illegal multi-billion-dollar industry in which individuals are forced to engage in commercial sex, labor, or other services against their will. This modern day slavery occurs on a global scale and even happens in our own neighborhoods.
