To me, Bridge To Hope literally means "bridge to hope."
It is…

• The bridge single parents, like myself, are desperately looking for in the hope of providing a better quality of life for our children.
• The bridge to postsecondary education in the hope of providing a stable, consistent, and safe home life for our children.
• The bridge out of poverty in the hope our children will not have to experience poverty as adults.

The Bridge to Hope Program provided me with academic and personal support while attending the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. I have been off of public assistance for over three years and attempting to complete my Master's degree in Urban & Regional Planning at the University of Hawai'i Manoa.
