- Our kids cannot be hungry, fighting to help our kids locally is the first step.
- There are 18,500 social assistant recipients in the Windsor-Essex County and almost 25% of Ontario workers are below the poverty line
- Times are tough, working to a raise a family is hard. We are trying to help the children of those who are working hard to have the best life for their children...we get it, and we are here to help.
- 30% of single moms living in the Windsor-Essex County live in poverty, in Windsor--> 81% of single parents are women
- It's tough raising a child/children with two parents, let alone with one. This fundraiser is helping add that little boost that means BIG to local single parents.

- This is why supporting local fundraisers/charities is extremely important. We are here to help our own.
