“Working in some of the poorest areas of my country, I found that it was a lack of child support, not poverty, that killed their dreams. A child once told me, ‘Cat, that’s just not my life, and those dreams are meant for me’. But I stand here today because someone believed in me and we owe it to our children to believe in them.”
