San Antonio Rising Stars created this program. After working closely with the youth in the community, we quickly realize that the mother is affected by their child’s loss, whether it be to the grave, prison, or drugs. So, we built this program to give the mothers a voice because the mother becomes depressed, angry, and loses focus on taking care of other kids. We allow the mothers to come forward to share the pain and anger so that they can draw strength from each other. This shows the mother that they’re not alone. Once we reach this part, we come together with plans and solutions to save the youth and fix situations they may feel weren’t treated right. This program gives us an opportunity to build the mother up so that the other kids in the household won’t be affected by a mother who is lost.
