Review for Take Stock in Children, Miami, FL, USA
This is an excellent organization that really impacts lives and changes not only the student accepted into the program, but the whole family. This is a program that does break that cycle of poverty and help each student be able to realize the "American Dream."

Help more students. The limiting factor is the rising coast of college tuition. Every year that cost increases.
