President Obama recently noted that there are millions of mothers and
fathers who are lying awake at night wondering if next week's paycheck
will cover next month's bills. Many parents are struggling to meet
living expenses and can't afford to pay for the support services offered
WHY: by TFS. The fundraiser is to support TFS in providing a safe environment
for children after school and during the summer months where students
have access to academic support through tutoring, financial literacy,
life skills training, and enrichment and cultural programs. TFS also
provides important support services, including parenting workshops, to
the parents of its students.
