“My family is and has been supportive in helping me raise my children. They represent the foundation of what I have become in life. It was my aunt and uncle who drove me around, looking at colleges as a high school student and encouraging me for higher education. My grandparents financed my college education. My family has always been there for me, in good times and not so good times. If it wasn’t for my mother, I am not sure where I would be today. Since I got divorced 12 years ago, my mother has helped me financially to stay in my home and meet the needs of my growing kids.”
