Summertime has turned to fall and winter will soon follow. There has been so many events and tragedies happening worldwide, majority of them life altering. So many have lost home and personal belongings and the way our communities have come together have been in epic proportions. My site has been dedicated to individuals who have lost a job or in between employment looking for alternative income opportunities. Finding monies to survive can be a struggle and when kids are involved it becomes even harder. This year I would like to try something different by starting a Sweaters are Sweeter Fund to help children get through the upcoming winter. My reason for this is because working part time as a substitute teacher in low income areas majority of children would not have on warm clothing. When asked why they did not have on a jacket or coat their reply was they did not have one and/or they lost it and their mom could not afford another one. Many of these homes are single parent homes and sometimes replacing lost items are not on the list. My goal is to help with that burden by starting this sweater fund. I have set up a GOFUNDMEPAGE to start this goal. I am also going to ask friends, neighbors, families, and teachers to help me in this feat. We have showed what we can do nationally, lets show our support locally.
