The Learning Center Work October 08

Of the three families that I shot for The Learning Center, all of the mothers were single. One had the support of the father of the child, the others were left by their husbands to fend by themselves in raising the child or children. One whose husband left when she was mid pregnancy, told me things were better now that a local agency had helped get the wages of the ex garnisheed. Before that things were "really bad".
While the type of jobs may vary, all of these women work hard and long hours. Weekends are by necessity filled with household work. There are no vacations for any of them ever.
