Abstract

This project is a descriptive narrative of guidelines and strategies for a care-giving ministry to poor Black single mothers in the Campostella section of Norfolk, Virginia. The guidelines/strategies were developed during a care-giving ministry that was in operation from January 1972 through December 1987. The summary and results are based on data compiled through the use of a guided interview format. Interview questions were used at the beginning and end of the program. An assessment of the program's effectiveness indicated that the program was a success. This project is written to elevate the lives of poor Black single mothers. Its roots are embedded in developing relationships and caring for a segment of our community that is all but forgotten, the inner-city or urban America. The basic premise is that relationships are the keys to changing lives. Regardless of the plight of people, everyone wants to be in relationship with someone whom he or she can respect and trust. Poor people, especially single poor Black mothers, are no exception.
