“So often women have doors shut on them and they are broken down from that. In survival mode. But receiving funding from Cause We Care is an incredibly positive thing for them.”

For several years it was just my mother and I, so I can relate when it comes to single mother-led families who are living month-to-month.

“I connected with Andrea Hill and talked about what she was doing. I feel very compelled to give to organizations that are supporting people living in real poverty.”

Once I discovered that Cause We Care specifically supported single mothers, I was all-in! From the time I was seven, my two older siblings and I were raised by my mother. 

“I know first-hand what it feels like to be overwhelmed in the grocery store and to have to try to feed your family on a meager budget, you have to make some very tough decisions.”
