Pressures on the family unit are increasing in today's world, and the single parent, as sole earner and parent, with no partner to share these stresses, is under almost unbearable strain.

The sad result can be a dysfunctional household, with health problems, inadequate parenting, financial crises, children acting out and failing in school...... however, we believe that the right supports, at the right time, can stop this downward slide.

The sense of community and the very real supports offered by ASPIRE CAIRNS INC. are essential for the health of this fast-growing segment of our society.
