Over the past 21 years, we have served many single parents and their families. Some single parents work at our LIGHT facility. I know them. I love them. Society tends to blame family structures that deviate from the two-parent model for some of its problems. I don’t. Every day I see single parents successfully juggling the demands of family, work and self-care. These people are successful because they don’t try to do it alone. They have the wisdom and the courage to ask for help. And there are resources for them to get that help. First and foremost, many of our single parents are embedded in loving, multi-generational extended families who hug, feed, protect, tutor, play with our children and hold them accountable to important family values. Around kitchen tables, on walks to school, at our churches, on our playgrounds – every day I see sisters, bothers, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, clergy, civic workers all lending their very capable hearts and hands. And then there is LIGHT. A critical part of our mission is to support and partner with single parents. Nurturing the development and absorbent minds of children and youth has been our specialty since our inception. Ensuring that single parents have all of the tools they need to support their families allows us to do just that. So providing the resources and support to accomplish both tasks just came natural to us. The wrap around services that LIGHT offers allows for a seamless assessment and connection to the services needed to encompass the family unit.We encourage everyone in our community to seek the help that they need. Ideally, our goal is to reach them before the need or a crisis occurs. Realistically, that doesn’t always happen. I know it’s hard to ask for help. “I should be able to do this myself.” “I’m ashamed that I’m in this position and I have to rely on someone else.” “I’m going to be turned away if I ask for help.” “I don’t want to bother them.” Sound familiar?Deep down we know that getting through our complicated and beautiful lives cannot successfully be done happy holiday gif alone. Plain and simple: I need help. You need help. ……

And if you have a news tip for our hardworking Philly Mag reporters, please direct it here. You can also use that form to send us reader mail. We love reader mail!Cherelle Parker is an amazing speaker. Nothing short of inspirational. She’s also the 100th mayor of Philadelphia, the largest city in what could be the most pivotal state in the election. And, oh right: She’s the first woman ever to serve as mayor of Philadelphia. And she’s Black! So you’d think that the Kamala Harris campaign would have Cherelle Parker front and center, talking constantly about the upcoming election. And yet …Two stories published yesterday — one by former Philly Mag writer Holly Otterbein for Politico and another that came later from the Inquirer — point out that the Kamala Harris campaign is overlooking Mayor Parker and other local Democratic leaders who are hugely essential in the get-out-the-vote effort. And who is to blame for this? Some say Nikki Lu. That’s who the Kamala Harris campaign tapped to run their efforts in Pennsylvania. And guess where Lu is from? [shudder] Pittsburgh!“She herself was not well-known in Philadelphia before she took this job, and I just get the sense that she’s just not great at interpersonal politics,” one anonymous source told the Inquirer of Lu and her ability to/interest in working with Philadelphia’s Democratic machine.And this from former U.S. Congressman Bob Brady, who is pretty much the personification of Democratic machine politics in Philadelphia: “They won’t give us credit if we win, but they’ll blame us if we lose.”Sounds like it could happen thanks to former Eagles player Connor Barwin!Sounds like it’s happening thanks to Philly mega-developer Bart Blatstein! happy holiday gif20 seconds: Time it took thieves to make off with about $100,000 in watches and other items at the King of Prussia Mall’s Breitling shop the other day. Don’t worry, I did the math for you: That’s $5,000 per second. Scaled up, it’s $18 million per hour. By comparison, if you take Taylor Swift’s net worth and divide it into an hourly wage based on a 40-hour workw……
