Family Quotes
"I've learned to save and be a better mother to my children.
Also, I've learned to talk to them about everything,
good and bad." — Sunday Friends Mom

We asked our families why Sunday Friends is so important to them. Here is what they said...
in their own words:

I come to Sunday Friends because...

"I need a lot of help at home as far as money because I don’t work and rent is very high. Also because we need diapers for my little girl."

"I have a good time and I learn in the classes and because my children get to learn the meaning of working to get what you want."

"I like coming because I learn many things about nutrition and I socialize with different people and make new friends. I also get help with household products."

"Because the program helps me get things that I need that I, sometimes, can’t afford to buy. I appreciate it."

"It offers family support. It also helps the children develop their full potential."

Here's how Sunday Friends makes a difference in my life:

"The difference it makes in my life is that I learn more English. I’ve also met new friends who, also, help me with my English."

"It makes a difference because it helps me learn to save. Life is hard and one has to find ways to get ahead."

"It makes a difference because I am able to obtain things I can’t afford to buy and I get to buy and obtain them with dignity."

"I get to relax and learn. It very beautiful what you all do for us."

"It makes a difference in my life by the help I receive through the program. I am able to get things from the store that I would otherwise not be able to."

In Sunday Friends, my children learn....

"They learn to earn their tickets and since they have their own bank account they are learning to save."

"They learn the value of things and how to share with others."

"He learns to play and how to live life with honor by working for his tickets earning what he buys. He also learns how to play with the other children."

"How to play with their friends and learn to share and expand their minds."

"They learn to read and write. They also learn how to be respectful and make friends. My children love the program."

Through Sunday Friends, I become....

"More outspoken for my children and open to meeting new friends."

"A better cook at home and more wise. I learn many good things. I become a better mother."

"Responsible over my eating habits. I also learn to be more responsible for What my children eat. I also learn to save money."

"Helpful to others. I want to further my education."

"More optimistic towards life. I am happier."
