Ask Five Colleagues to Help You Sponsor a Single Mom's Education

Your efforts to get others to help you sponsor a single mother's college education could make a huge difference in her quality of life and in the lives of the children she is raising alone. For a single mom, getting a degree or professional certificate may seem impossible, a fantasy. Many single mothers work multiple jobs just to feed and clothe their brood. Often they live paycheck to paycheck and hope they don't get sick. Yet they frequently catch the colds and illnesses that go around because their fatigue and stress reduces the ability of their immune systems to fight off such opportunistic infections. Many do not have health insurance. Research supports the idea that higher education for single mothers benefits society. You don't have to do it alone; ask five business colleagues or friends to join your effort.
