I believe in the Women’s Resource of Greater Houston’s mission. They are a great organization providing a valuable service that is much needed. Financial Literacy is vital to an individual’s survival. And all too often is something that is taken for granted by many. By educating young girls and women how to budget and plan for their futures they are setting the path for financial stability. I will continue to support them in many ways through volunteering, donating, and creating awareness every opportunity I have.
