  • Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) November 22, 2015 - "To see the face of suburban poverty, you needn't look further than the human interest stories of every major newspaper in America. But while coverage has been plentiful, solutions remain in short supply, partly because the issue is still not well understood, partly because many would prefer to pretend it isn't happening. A media audit shows that suburban poverty has largely been invisible as a specific topic in reporting. The problem is also absent on most philanthropic agendas: In 2011, barely 8 percent of anti-poverty funding from top foundations went to suburban-based organizations."- Source The Rockefeller Foundation

    At Women Are Dreamers Too not only are we faced with increase in suburban poverty, the new normal is compounded with domestic violence. So we have folks who are now becoming the working poor, they have jobs but are unable to stretch their dollars to cover their basic needs and those of their children for the holidays. The ladies in the suburb and their children, who normally would be our Angels are indeed needing Angels this holiday season. Compounding the trend is the issue of domestic violence at Women Are Dreamers Too.

    The exceptional increase in demand for our services at Women Are Dreamers Too, for food, for toys, for basic necessities have become so overwhelming compared to the donations being received.

    Responding to the growing need for family Angel adoptions for the holidays is Control Scan. They are adopting Eight women and their children. Providing all their basic needs including shoes, clothes and necessities for the holiday.

    "We are answering the call for help and have picked Women Are Dreamers Too ladies and their children this holiday season because of the growing need for help in suburbia America. We are happy to help, as we have turned this to a contest among our employees, to encourage the outreach at Control Scan" Control Scan

    "We appreciate all the help and outreach from Control Scan, we hope more Corporations will lend a hand regarding family adoptions for the holidays at Women Are Dreamers Too"- Cindy Williams Director WADT
