Think Like Your Kid’s Life Depended on It
MOMS is an all-volunteer, non-profit family foundation of thinkers and teachers dedicated to changing our world so that it better serves mothers with young children. We give money to the most cost-effective agencies advancing this goal, and ideas to all who will consider them. We ask nothing in return except that everyone join our campaign to make our world better serve mothers with young children. Young children are the future, and mothers can make them what we all need them to be: Honest, kind, humble, and healthy. That’s what they must be for the human to have any future. But most mothers do not raise their children to be fit because they are distracted either by poverty or affluence. Poor mothers obsess over necessities. Rich mothers, and rich people in general, don’t care. The result is growing economic disparity, and a growing population of unfit youth. The vast majority of American high school and college students, for instance, freely admit to cheating. Some 80% of them are mentally or physically unfit. This is the problem MOMS seeks to solve by inspiring us all to care for all children. And this requires that we ensure all necessities for poor mothers and instill empathy in rich ones, and in rich people in general.
“We can’t heal the world today but we can begin with a voice of compassion, a heart of love, an act of kindness.”
