The Bobby Jo Lewis Foundation
More than two-thirds of children today are living in what would be considered a non-traditional family environment.
Here’s what we know
- 1 in 3 American families, an average of 42 million women, plus 28 million children, either live in poverty or are right on the brink of it.
- Two-thirds of American women are either the primary or co-breadwinners of their families.
- 60% of low-income women say they believe even if they made all the right choices, “the economy doesn’t work for someone like me.”
- 76% of single mothers say if they could do it all over again, they would have gotten out of a bad relationship sooner.
- 27% of fathers and 40% of low-income fathers don’t live with their children.
- Homeless families comprise roughly 34% of the total U.S. homeless population.
- Approximately 1.6 million children will experience homelessness over the course of a year.
1 in 2 children in the United States will live with a single parent at some point in their lives.

Graduate Stories
I Love my job and my life, and I owe it all to REstart®
I graduated from REstart® and began my internship and 6 months later I had my Real Estate license. My daughter and I had our life back. I can go on and on about the many hidden treasures in this amazing REstart® program.”
A great opportunity
In 2016, I was given the opportunity to attend an IREM International Conference in San Diego. Jackie Diaz and I spoke about the REstart® Program in front of the entire group at this conference (about 750 people). We were given a standing ovation. It was an incredible experience!
