Every parent wants to support their child - even if they need a little help to do so!
According to the Missouri Community Action Network a family of four must make $26,200 or less to be considered living in poverty.
The National Diaper Bank Network reports that families with infants spend about 14% of their total income on diapers for their babies = $3,668 a year.
This leaves $22,532 for the family to live on for the entire year
Take from this the costs to support other necessary things including:
What's Left Over? -$494
CMCA helps families living at or below poverty level meet basic needs through programs and services that not only address crisis situations but also partner with families to help them build a plan toward financial stability. Usually, within 6-9 months, families who have been working to improve their financial status begin seeing positive results.
We can't do this work without your help. A gift of ANY size to our CoMoGives campaign can help a family meet basic needs while also giving them the skills and support necessary to become financially stable. Keeping families safe, healthy, and moving forward is our goal. Will you help?
