The article was […]

Following Black Friday and Cyber Monday is today, GivingTuesday. This is to remind us that it is better to give than receive and that there are always those who are less fortunate than we […]
3 weeks until #GivingTuesday. Here is what one parent said about the work of Making Headway Foundation. “Making Headway is a loving caring group of folks who always remember that our kids are just kids.
