Confidence doesn't always come before the scary thing. Sometimes you have to do it afraid and take that first step.

Our families recently joined Reba Hollingsworth - WTVR CBS 6 , our longtime media partner, for a public speaking workshop all about finding and using your voice. Reba reminded everyone in the room that their stories, experiences, and voices matter.

A heartfelt thank you to Reba for leading the workshop, to Laurel Presbyterian Church for hosting, and to Heaven Sent Child Care LLC for caring for our children so their parents could be fully present.

Workshops like this are part of what makes Forward Foundation more than childcare support. It takes a village to help families move forward, and we certainly have one.

"I had been turned away from every place I looked because I made too much money. I was pinching pennies and skipping meals to keep lights on and daycare paid."
(Tara, Forward Foundation parent)

For many working single parents in Greater Richmond, this is the reality. They earn too much to qualify for state assistance, but not enough to cover the true cost of childcare.

Forward Foundation fills that gap with childcare support, financial and career coaching, and a community in their corner for 18 to 24 months and beyond.

If this sounds like you or someone you love, let's talk: forwardfoundationva.org
