Dreams
Families’ dreams for their children
Stop the cycle. Poverty is a cycle...I want my kids to be a part of ending this cycle.
The reasons families need services vary. But what they hope to achieve for their families by using services is universal: stability, health, education, and a bright future.
When asked what their dreams were for their children, families responded in many different ways. Many spoke of wanting their children to go to college, get degrees, and have careers. Others mentioned stable housing, health, and income, many contrasting their current financial situations with their hope that their children would break the cycle and experience more stability and success. Finally, many responses focused not on their children’s situations, but on who they were and would be. Families wanted their children to have confidence, to feel supported, to be good people, and to follow their passions.
