Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (1)
- $69,584 spent. The abandoned mothers, widows, and their children we serve, live at or below the poverty line. We primarily assist with three high expense areas, transportation, temporary childcare, and continuing education or children's programs that a family can no longer afford after being abandoned or widowed. With some limitations, we find a need to broaden our reach and lend a helping hand to those families who don't quite fit our base requirements but by being blessed one time, it will give them hope for another day, week, month or year. Overall, we assisted 63 women and children with services. Transportation Assistance is by far the most requested service we provide. Those highlights include 4 automobiles given away, 3 motors or transmissions replaced, 24 months of car insurance, 31 job saving Uber or Lift Rides, 2 repossessed saving car payments made, over 50 gas tanks filled, and AAA tow cards provided, and routine oil changes teaching families to maintain their vehicles. We assisted 11 families with Temporary Childcare and helped with two Partner Youth Programs serving 10 families. Our target is to help the families become self-sufficient within 18 months and off public assistance if possible.
