Week 8: Breaking the Cycle of Poverty {Unlimited Hope, Unlimited Impact Series}

Join the Movement—Together, We Create Unlimited Possibilities

Poverty is not just about a lack of money—it’s the weight of systemic barriers that hold families back for generations. It’s the mother choosing between rent and food, the child who dreams beyond what they’ve seen, and the cycle that repeats unless someone steps in. That someone is us.

At Thrive SWFL, we refuse to accept poverty as an unchangeable reality. We believe in action. We believe in transformation. We believe in a future where every woman and child has the opportunity to rise.

The Reality of Generational Poverty

🚨 1 in 7 women in Florida lives in poverty.
🚨 Children raised in poverty are twice as likely to remain there as adults.
🚨 Without intervention, 79% of children born into poverty will never break free.

This isn’t just about statistics—it’s about real lives. But change is possible.

Alexis’ Story: Proof That Change is Possible

Alexis grew up believing that struggle was just a part of life. At 19, she became a mother with no job, no degree, and no roadmap for a better future. Then she found Thrive.

Through career counseling, no-cost childcare, and financial literacy support, Alexis rewrote her story. Today, she is employed, pursuing her degree, and teaching her child that struggle is not a life sentence—it’s a chapter that can end with faith and opportunity.
