Bridge Kids are going to school! They, fortunately, are being sent back in style. Backpacks full of paper and pens and hope of fun and friends.
We also recognize another return to school. One Bridge mom, who since graduating from high school, has worked in prostitution to provide for herself and her children. She, too, is entering school hoping for a new future. She dares to enter vocational training. She embodies the courage to begin the path of entering a career that will sustain her family as a single parent.
The choices she is making today are changing her family’s trajectory. She is nervous, but the gratitude she is feeling far surpasses the feelings of fear of failing.
You provide the platform for mothers to change their and their children’s lives.
Thank you for your support for The Bridge to Hope.

Giving our Bridge Kids the security they deserve
