The cycle of poverty is the set of factors or events by which poverty, once started, has continued for three or more generations unless there is outside intervention, such as education. As I see it, here are some of …

On Nana Finds Ways to Help, over 120 requests for help were received for just Christmas alone. Most of the requests did not include the town or area and state the family in need of help was located. In order for me to try to find a donor, I needed to know that information. Also, it would help if the needs and wants of the children and family were included in the family’s request.

New Jersey Families Need Your Help
