[Unmarried, plus kids, minus education, equals poverty!]

Unmarried + Kids ― Education = Poverty

The Truth Helps

Text Box: The greatest truth must be recognition that in every man and in
every child is the potential for greatness.
~Robert Kennedy “Nothing, storm or flood, must get in the way of our need for light… The truth is the light and light is the truth.”

If you do not believe in statistics….look around...in families, communities and schools. What do YOU see? Children suffer when they are born into single parent families.
What does a child deserve?
What does your child deserve? What will YOU do to give them a better life?

I am sick of shadows, blind me with you.

Everyone should ask this question and others before they produce offspring. Does a child deserve to live in poverty? Does a child deserve to have the opportunity for educational advancement? Does a child deserve access to resources and family stability? What will you provide?
