This Mother’s Day, say “Thank you” to your mother or mother figure and extend that gratitude to another woman.

Can $5 make a difference? Yes. It’s a powerful first step in changing the life of a woman we serve. The best way to show gratitude is to pay it forward. Donate in her name today: hartford.dressforsuccess.org
