The Sister Angel Foundation for Education’s Adopt-A-Family Program was developed after we recognized the immense financial challenges faced by the mothers in our program. Many of them struggle month to month to cover basic living expenses, often falling behind on rent or utilities, or being unable to afford car registration and repairs. Heartbreakingly, we would hear stories of these hardworking women telling their children, “There won’t be any presents this year,” despite their tireless efforts to create better futures for their families through education.
