​I. Introduction
​
At Raised, we recognize single parents' resilience, strength, and determination as they strive to provide their children with the best possible life. Despite their unwavering love and dedication, single parents often face unique challenges that can limit their children's opportunities and potential.

Thus, we have established Raised, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children raised by single parents to reach their full potential.
