Finished the design and build-out of Oxygen, a program designed to serve
families in need at the grassroots level.
Continued enhancement and roll-out of comprehensive back-end support.
Customization of the program to best apply to military and low-income families.
“I recently returned from my
second deployment to Iraq and I
was shocked to find out that so
many marriages in my unit were
ending in divorce. Most got
married just a few months before
being deployed. There have been
many in my unit that have asked
for marriage enrichment training.
I am excited to facilitate the
Oxygen seminar for my unit. I
know that… my units’
marriages will
be strengthened.”

“And hope is spreading… We came in
contact with a [low-income] couple
that was in great turmoil but wanting
to attend the Oxygen seminar. I was
overjoyed when I could make this
seminar available to them on
scholarship. I know I’ll come across
others needing the same help, and I’ll
be able to make the same offer. Hope
is spreading… We are honored to have
this ongoing partnership and I am so
grateful to Stronger Families. It is only
going to get better!”
