The way I would help single mothers is to start a program that would help them advance there education. They would have childcare, transportation and other benifits from da program. First the program would have an social worker assined to every mother to find out what where there personal goel or help them find one. It would be A step by step program, first they would have the choice of a ged or high school education. The next step would be to find what career goel the would be most confortable with . To help with that they would have a week of training in the area of there choice. This would help with decision hands on experiances that would help with any douts they would have with the choices they have made. Then they would have hands on help with funds thet would help them complete there goel or career. After the would complete collage or job training.The last step would be to help them find a job that start there life as Carrer Women!

Writing: Answer this question that we created as a class-
What would you do to improve Richmond? Why? How? Use your own knowledge, observations and personal experiences to support your answer. Give specific details
What would I do to improve Richmond
The first thing I would do is improve the employment opportunities. That's what I think is the biggest problem. Its not just that its the pay how do they expect people to live on that kind of money.I remember when I first had my child I did have the privilege of coming from a wealthy family or have the support of a child's father. So just like most young girls my age I had to be on welfare for a moment. They say they are designed to help single mothers but that's sould I say bullshit. I remember I was in one of there so called job readiness classes and the lady was talking about they would pay for childcare while you work so I said that's fine but what if you didnt want to work.Would they support you if you wanted to go to school because that's what I was interested in. She said NO! I looked at her like she was crazy and was like that's crazy that doesn't make since. They would rather you work at McDonald's then to support you in a way that you could so support yourself for a lifetime.Then they have the nerve to have a five year maximum time you could be on welfare get real how much can u gain at McDonald's in five years maybe a dollar or two raise wow!
That's what crazy if i had allot of money where I would donate to a fund it would help young mothers for real because i don't think people know how hard it really is to be a single mother its not about your wants its abouts your child's needs. That's the way I see it maybe everybody don't think like that but me being the mother that I am I take that serious its hard am not saying is easy you have to put yourself completely to the side like now am just getting to a point in my life where i can start my life. I wanted to start years but with no support that's what I had to do set my wants aside for my child's needs. But that's OK better late than not at all! and that what chapter am at now in my life.
