Generational Poverty Disruptor

generational poverty 2

Generational poverty has a cure. You! The Center for American Progress says that single mothers in the United States face economic insecurity, including high poverty rates and low incomes, which could be alleviated by strengthening the social safety net. The solution, we all know, is that the safety net must include you and me! Government agencies alone are not the answer.

SLIM disrupts generational poverty by meeting women where they are struggling to care for their children; where they are striving to advance their education or careers in order to better provide for their families. SLIM comes alongside women and children to assist with housing, fresh foods, diapers/clothes/haircuts, basic needs; we provide spiritual support to help them grow in their faith. We disrupt generational poverty by giving children who have experienced trauma a safe and loving home through our General Residential Operation (HIS LOVE Foster Care Solutions), hislovefostercare.org. We foster children with physical and emotional health needs whose families are unable to care for them. We provide a safe and loving home as families work to improve their lives in order to regain custody of their children. These seemingly small efforts offer the safety net women and children need to disrupt generational poverty, and you can help by partnering with SLIM.
