What You'll Get
The Issue: Single Parents Living Below Poverty Line
According to data from the 2009 American Communities Survey, 39% of single female parents with children under 5 in Sacramento live below the poverty line.
The Campaign: Diapers for Children of Single Young Mothers
If this Grassroots campaign raises $380, then Tubman House can fund a month of diapers for 8 single young parents in the child-development program. Each additional $380 raised will fund another month's worth of diapers for 15 children. The organization has set a goal to raise $1,125 with today's campaign, which would fund three months' worth of diapers for 15 children.
