The back-to-school season for many parents, “Is the most wonderful time of the year. However for others it’s a time of stress and anxiety, where significant extra costs stretch already tight budgets. For individuals and families living in poverty, the school necessities can’t be purchased because families need to put all their funds in more pressing needs. We know that children living in poverty feel different from their peers they feel the imbalance and this places psychological stressors on them from a very early age. Feelings of isolation, a lack of acceptance, anger and hopelessness are often the results. Children begin acting out or withdrawing, which further affects the quality of their education. students living in poverty are at a significant disadvantage to their peers. Education is a pivotal ingredient in breaking the cycle of poverty. If children do not enter school feeling confident, prepared or excited to learn, their educational experience will be compromised, the effects rippling down throughout their life. So we help fix this imbalance by helping students feel prepared and confident for the school year ahead. .
