Ever wonder what your money actually buys for women and children?
Keep a tissue handy as you read the letters below to learn just how far your dollars go to keep families safe and stable.
I am sure if money could talk, it would tell you how it helped a struggling mother buy gas to attend college so that someday it could return the favor… with higher wages to support her four children. It would also tell you stories of how it stayed inside a young woman’s wallet as she refused to eat lunch herself, so she could buy diapers and formula for her little baby girl… what does your money say?
“I have many goals and ambitions that I want to reach within five years. I want to become a pediatric nurse assistant. I want to correct the mistakes I have made, most importantly I want to set good examples for my children. I currently do not have a job, a car or an education. I hope to get my GED so I can be readyfor college. I have found my road to success to be very challenging. I have two toddlers [to raise]. With your help I believe it will be much more achievable. Thank you for taking the time to readmy letter.”—*Tasha

Thank you so much for all your help in our time of need, you truly madea difference for me and my children.”—Alicia*
