“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.”

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. 

Creating a positive future for generations to come is an opportunity before each of us, and we at Capital Direct are proud to say we strive to do this through initiatives like Cause We Care.

Rachelle Cervantes is one of our treasured coordinators at Thunderbird’s afterschool Kids First program, which is part-funded by Cause We Care.

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.”
