Credit Score

Here at Call Mom, we deal with many humps in the road to get our single parent women (and some men) back to self sufficiency. Some of the moms had to file for bankruptcy because they defaulted on student loans, car payments etc.
The following was in today's news:

“It was as if the music stopped,” Ms. LaShawn, 31, said, recalling how the date this year went so wrong so quickly after she tried to answer his question honestly. “It was really awkward because he kept telling me that I was the perfect girl for him, but that a low credit score was his deal-breaker.”

Wow, we just recently (yesterday!) talked about the men that like to get their ego stroked by (Hooters) waitresses who pad their tips by innuendo and sluttiness. Now, now, don't women get turned on by waiters in speedos? NO went the chorus. We get turned on by men in suits waiving a perfect credit score.

Apparently my pick up line: "are you solvent " is a deal breaker. Rather a deal breaker now than a heart breaker later.

GPS

if you have a spouse in prison, you may be familiar with GPS (Goodwill Peer Support)
GPS aims to strenghten families through positive adult mentoring relationships. With over 800,000 parents currently incarcerated nationwide, GPS directly assists in stabilizing families with minor children by reducing crime during the transition from jail back into society.

This mentoring program is primarily funded by a grant from the US Dept of Justice under the 2nd chance act

Contact Goodwill in your area for more info.

If you have a spouse in prison, or a spouse who is deployed, we care about you and your family - by our definition, you are a single mom and we want to help you get through the fray.

The "Delores" Story:
The Delores Project is named for Delores Big Boy, a Lakota woman who frequently lived on the streets of Denver. Her situation was complicated by health, developmental and substance abuse issues, as well as physical and sexual violence.
Although Delores sought aid from various Denver agencies, sadly, she fell through the cracks in the system. Delores died while living on the streets June 8, 1999. In forming the shelter in 2000, we chose to honor her memory so that we could always continue our work with a commitment to ensuring safe shelter for every woman and support for those in transition.
