Broken Promises, a non-profit dedicated to helping struggling single parent families and their children by providing financial support and educational opportunities, raising national awareness of the challenges they face, and to effect positive change, held a fundraising event at Zorya Fine Art gallery. The event, part of the “Help is on its way!” campaign for all of Fairfield County, was a great success. Many State and Local representatives were on hand including First Selectman Peter J. Tesei, Selectman John Toner, State Representative Livvy Floren, and Mary Lee Kiernan to celebrate the organization’s mission and show support for their cause. 

The nonprofit’s Founder and Executive Director, Richard Spangenberg, spoke to their mission and introduced Dr. Ingi Soliman, the Chairman of Broken Promises’ Parenting and Child Development Advisory Group. She illustrated the importance for a support village that all single parents need.  Broken Promises’ online resource center is being designed to provide that through easily accessible parenting tools, developmental guidelines, and a database of professionals that they can turn to for help. In addition, the group will initiate research on issues unique to single parent households. Carla Craigle, a child support expert, relived her personal experiences as a single mom bringing a sense of reality of what it is like to be a struggling single parent.

The Host Committee included State Reps. Mike Bocchino, Fred Camillo and Livvy Floren, Selectmans Drew Marzullo and John Toner, First Selectman Peter J. Tesei, Mary Lee Kiernan, Edward Dadakis, Joy Rendahl, Heather Lowthert, Lauren Rabin, Kevin P. O’Shea and Stacy and Ralph Roe.

Proceeds from the campaign will also provide gift card financial support to cover a family’s basic needs including clothing, food, pharmaceuticals and even childcare.
