We’re reaching the end of January. It’s only been the
first month of 2014 yet the prognosis is that it has not been good for poor
single parents. Imagine, they have been courageously battling against odds to
raise their kids on very little money and even less help from their families
or outside help, all these while.
For the last 7 years, Jumble Station has done its best to
help alleviate their worries and their financial woes but the recent rise in
the cost of food items, basic stuff and even school needs are putting an even
more heavy burden on their current load.
If it is extremely tough for a two parent family to provide
for their families in these trying times, imagine the pain and agony poor
single parents have to undergo with the coming months painting an even more
bleak future for them. What can JS do to
assist these long suffering single parents – we can only try to raise our
assistance to them a notch higher and further empower them to seek to increase
their income source in more creative ways.
We will do that by collaborating with different groups and
organisations that can partner JS in making a positive difference in the lives
of single parents in dire need. We can do that if those who can afford, those
who have the creative input and the willingness to share their skills and their
time, to work alongside us to bring
about an impactful change to this much forgotten group – the poor single parents!
