Young mothers need our support

Last week I accompanied a photographer friend of mine, Brooke from Brooke Imagery, to Sac State to take portraits of some young mothers and their children. Here you see one of the little guys confronting a rather belligerent rooster who escorted us around the Arboretum. He was fearless! (The boy, not the chicken!)

It was nice to see these young women taking their responsiblities seriously and doing their best to rear happy, healthy children. Certainly, they are learning to do the hardest job on the planet--parenting.

Fortunately, they have the support of a great organization that helps foster youth get established after the system cuts them loose. Connections for Youth, Inc., is a Sacramento-based non-profit established by Samantha Olson. Check them out on Facebook. Good work, Sam!
