In a pilot as wide-reaching and diverse as Our ChanceTN, success does not look the same for every caregiver. For La'Diedra High, success meant learning how to stop surviving day to day and start building a future for herself and her children through resilience, mindset growth, and the steady determination to be better each day.

For a single parent in Middle Tennessee, a raise as small as 35 cents an hour can feel more like a punishment than a promotion. Many low-income families who rely on public benefits  food assistance, healthcare coverage, childcare subsidies, and housing vouchers  risk losing the very supports that help cover their everyday living expenses the moment their earnings rise. This is known as the “benefits cliff”.

Caregivers had the opportunity to take meaningful steps toward their career goals at our Spring Forward with OurChance event.
