    they say not evrything that sounds good is good. i just hope the best come out of every promise i’ve read on this platform for the month of december. I’ve heard mothers cry, especially the ones that can’t afford a babysitter and family refusing to babysit for free now. by the time they get a little money it’s done in rent paying, baby snacks and paying back families and friends. sometimes they don’t get to pay anything but families and friends who demands their money despite the situation they know about. so i hope this will truly help these single moms uplift themselves for the better.
