ONE BENEFICIARY’S STORY Since launching the Sin

ONE BENEFICIARY’S STORY

Since launching the Single Mothers Support Fund in 2019, we have distributed over $318,000 in financial support to single mothers who are pursuing further education and vocational training in order achieve greater economic security for their families. We are so proud of what these resilient women have accomplished and are delighted to share their stories with you.

Meet Vivian, who arrived in Vancouver two years ago with her two young daughters, having fled an abusive relationship. After securing safe housing for her family, Vivian decided to return to school to study Practical Nursing. She is determined to build a bright future for herself and her daughters and to be a positive role model for them. Vivian says: “When I left an abusive relationship, I was able to teach my children that they can always say NO to abuse of any kind, and starting all over in my pursuit for a new career, I have also been able to teach them strength and determination to succeed irrespective of what they may go through in life and that they can always start all over again.”

Vivian applied for funding from CWC in February 2021. She was awarded a $10,000 grant and has used those funds to cover her expenses while she is a student, including childcare costs, computer and internet costs, and textbooks and supplies for school. She will complete her training in March 2022 and is feeling confident about her future: “I am certain that I will excel in this career path I have chosen because I see it bringing renewal to my life. It is a difficult journey but my determination to succeed in this makes me see the beautiful benefits for me, my family, and my community.”

To our generous donors she says: “Your support has had a great impact in my life and I’m sure that everyone who has benefitted from this program has the same appreciation. Your donations will always go a long way to changing lives for the better.”

“Thank you CWC for all your help and generosity.

“Thank you CWC for all your help and generosity. Your funding made it possible for me to get the supplies I needed to be successful in school. I was able to get a good computer for my studies, pay my hydro bill, my internet, an eye exam and a month’s supply of groceries. I am able to focus more on my studies and not have to worry about not meeting work demands due to lack of internet. My children have food to eat and I don’t have to deprive myself so that they can have enough. You have made us truly happy.” -Recent Graduate, Community Support Worker Program

“By awarding me the Single Mothers Support Fund

“By awarding me the Single Mothers Support Fund bursary, you have lightened my financial burden and the stressors that I was dealing with every day - allowing me to focus more on the most important aspect of my education; learning. The financial assistance Cause We Care Foundation provided will be of great help to me in paying my educational expenses, and your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community. As a future Social Worker I hope one day I will be able to help students and single mothers achieve their goals just as you have helped me. Thank you!!” -Student and SMSF Beneficiary completing her 2nd year of Bachelor of Social Work
