Comfort: S729-SOP

Comfort is promoted to first grade and still wants to be a seamstress one day.  She continues to live with her mother. Sponsored by: Laura Stoller

Ten-year-old Comfort’s mother is a widow. Comfort’s father died when she was five years old and left behind six children.  Her mother was buckling under the pressure of acquiring resources to send her children to school.  It’s moms like Comfort’s that GPA seek out to encourage and support.  What her mother lacks in financial resources she more than makes up by hustling petty job opportunities to gain income for her family.  Comfort is in kindergarten class, and she wants to be a seamstress when she grows up.  Sponsored by: Laura Stoller
