Mother's Day 2010: Power of a Purse

 

In the US, having a child is the single greatest predictor that a woman will end up in financial collapse.  Mothers are five times more likely to end up in bankruptcy or poverty... and here in the Capital Region, thousands of women are currently living in poverty and abuse. 

 

In 2009, our local chapter started "Power of a Purse" to raise awareness of the economic risks that mothers face.  This year, we are joined by mothers in nearly 50 cities across the nation who believe that they can put hope in a handbag. 

 

Donations of purses are no longer being accepted.  Thank you SO MUCH, Capital Region!
