Imagine you and your five children living in a 325-square-foot room with one bed. This is becoming way too common, and we wonder why children are acting out in our schools.
Community Women Against Hardship (CWAH), in partnership with The St. Louis American, is asking your help in extending a helping hand to those facing these and similar challenges.
