There is no reason why parents should have to struggle or go broke to pay for a child's college education. There is no reason for college graduates to be carrying tens of thousands of dollars of ridiculous debt into their first, second or third job. Despite the economy, there is no reason why NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS should have to struggle to acquire funding to deliver needed, critical services to sustain our communities.
