How.about a dad? At what point do u stop funding a failed dynamic?
All these people talking about they need stable environments but no mention of father figures 😂
a lot of men just don’t have what it takes, they get a woman pregnant and they fold like paper a year or so after 😂.
Guys just a heads up, this isn’t government funded in any way. The Bridge Project is privately funded by a philanthropy organization.
No but the welfare system is that allows single mothers to continue this behavior
So what's the real story here... sounds like she got pregnant in D.R. with her husband and somehow made it to the U.S. to drop her anchor baby here that needed 3 months of FREE prenatal hospital care... so, shouldn't she be sent back to D.R. and her husband with their new U.S. Citizen baby?
@@t.c.2776 I absolutely agree lol, I hate leeches just as much as the next guy. We have that problem here in Canada as well. People from foreign countries have their kids here and exploit our (not-so-free) health care system. I made this comment just to inform people.
@@t.c.2776interesting! And true
So add that $1000 on to the housing vouchers, transportation vouchers, food vouchers, job placement help that single mothers already recieve.
They're literally incentivizing single motherhood.
Well considering the rapidly dropping children being born might not be that bad.
Look at Japan and China they are doomed cause of that… wayyy too many old people not enough young
For at least 2 generations and counting!
TRUTH
I hope ur adding the much larger payout on corporate welfare while ur tearing down these mothers.
@worklaughplay oh I acknowledge corporate welfare is very real and substantially larger, but how am I "tearing down" these mothers???
I would much rather see that money go to nuclear families because as you can see these mothers are getting so much already. I'll wait for your response.
Don't be fooled. They still don't want the father around the children. Keep you enslaved and divided since the 50's😅 sorry moms, they still don't want you to have a family. (Father in the child's life)
Why would you have a fool around your kids?
@ll-eb2rt having a positive male roll model around the kids helps the females out when stress starts to build. A positive male roll model with rasie his voice only to settle the kids down, not to abuse. And positive male roll model will become the bad guy in the eyes of his loved one only to protect his loved ones. A positive male roll model will help a female guide their future kings & Queens down a path deemed royalty and not the path of poverty.
P.s I never said anything about having a fool around your kids. I said, Don't be fooled.
@@seamile88 deadbeat dads shouldn’t be allowed in the kid’s life if they weren’t there for the child’s birth. You can’t change your mind on responsibility
@ll-eb2rt you're missing the point of the video.
The government doesn't want you to be happy. So either you drop the dad (possible good role model) for the money.
Not everyone is born perfect. And you can't really blame the father for the poor choices the woman made with sleeping with man in the first place. Deadbeat or not, she still choose him.
@@seamile88 The government is doing more for them than the runaway dads that for sure. So are you suggesting that abortion should be considered when both parents aren’t welling up to parenthood?
how about “keeping the biological father in the home project.”
Haha. Neuter all of them
How about the black deadbeat male bums not abandon their women and children?
"It's not part of the plan, homie."- the government
Absolutely not. Have you seen some of the fathers that left or better yet, were forcibly separated by domestic abuse?
How about the “blk men - stop abandoning your kids en masse and the government would not have to step in” project 💅🏽
As long as it’s private donations going to support the breeding program.
How about people stop having kids they cant afford
Exactly…..
So, make more babies, make more money, don't have a man in the house. Where have I heard this before?
Well I see the good that it creates but I don't understand why it's only for single mom's. Basically, it puts out the message that men that walk away from their responsibilities are encouraged. Every couple with children should benefit from the program. 2:25
...and ignores single fathers
The message has been out for decades. Blk men abandoning their kids en masse is not new.
Lol or it says women should choose they men wisely
@@jasont9468 It also says men should be more wise.
THIS is systematic racism. No need for a father obviously. Let’s see how this turns out.
That's not true ! I'm part of this program and their father is involved in their lives it's for mothers who do not meet any programs or need further fianical assistance and it's private funded not from the government. This program has helped me tremendously to survive here at NYC and I make just 48k which is nothing in NYC and I pay everything myself. sooo I don't see how this is systematic racism or how we dont need fathers ? My kids are with their dad because daycare is insane ! While i work full time !!!!. I can't apply to any support because the government considered i make to much to meet anything so this is super needed for families trying to survive and make it out. I work In soical services helping vulnerable populations giving back to communities so I'm not just here trying to collect a dollar doing nothing. I'm a hard working mother who appreciate this relief and I am happy people want to spend their own money to help mothers like me. You can't make more then like 55kish to be part of this program and it's a lottery so I don't get why make a comment like this without researching.
Imagine being sexually responsible and having children when it's economically appropriate.
Why can’t moms in Long Island receive this as well .
You mean on long island
Sorry @johnsmith7140 I did not realize this post would be checked for grammer.
Why can't you just not have kids if you can't afford it
These are low IQ people that are breeding. They can't comprehend what you posted.
Why can't you do research before commenting lol ? Do you even know what this program is even about ? Or you see money and struggling mothers and say nope let me be ignorant today. I have kids and I can afford it perfectly fine without any assistance. However this assistance is a nice added bonus for me and any mother in the program. I went to college. I'm getting my master and because of this program I will be able to finish my master ! Why doesn't no talk about how crazy expensive it is to live in NYC where there's no rent regulation. You can 1 lease pay 1800 the next lease pay 3000 like stop It. It has nothing to do with affordability it has to do with women with children are a vulnerable population that barely gets any support from anyone !! United States is one of the only advanced countries who doesn't even have paid leave ! When I took maternity I had to get only portion and I took that sacrifice to bond with my child and this program helped me during those times. So no cut it out. Let's be real life is expensive weather you make 48k or even 100k. You know how much taxes NYC takes out of a paycheck ???? Like come on. It's really not this simple. Lol
@francheskarosado don't care. White green black blue yellow or purple. Why do some people be responsible and think about the financial cost of a kid, and others just make a one night stand (saying this cause of it being a single mother) a permanent problem.
Blessing to you and your program providing help for mothers and their babies struggling through life. 🙏🏾♥️
Where are the fathers?
Where they always are… making more kids to abandon.
true dat@@niax782
Great..let's support having kids you can't support.
Oh yeah, let's not mention $1000 won't go far anymore anywhere these days, let alone in NYC 😒
They should not get a dollar in the first place.
This 1000$ is on top of the income they already get. Also I'm sure they also get food stamps too. 1000$ can get you a dozen full tanks of gas. 20 large boxes of diapers. Pay off a car payment and insurance. 1000$ goes a long way anywhere if you know how to budget.
@@americanmade-1 yeah at whose expense? Definitely not these girls getting "free" money 😒
I spend that a month on both of my cars
Every mother needs it not just New york mothers
Mothers with blk babydaddies need money.
@@niax782 rofl. Cause they don’t understand how pregnancy and the cost of a baby impacts your future.
@@CrispusAttucks2315 Ummm… they don’t understand that blk men abandon their kids usually. I have no idea why ANY women would lay down with one 👎🏽
Im not a single mother but an extra $1000 would be nice. I wish they would help other people besides single parents, they arent the only ones who are struggling.
But you have to admit that they struggle the most. I bet you would not change places for that 1000 in first 1000 days of the life of your baby.
So be thankful that they get it, as sister mother.
Other programs help other people. This program is for single mothers
@@majdavojnikovic They struggle because they pop out babies without being able to afford them. I can't afford a kid rn, so I'm simply not having any, easy as that.
@@majdavojnikovic it's homeless people bro, they struggle more
Be normal have kids your grandma and mom did they ain’t so bad. Ask them I’m sure they help
How giving money only if they keep families together and fathers in the home, and with a term limit.
I was a single mother in Pennsylvania and not by choice 25 years of age widowed with a nine-year-old and a nine and a half month old having to fight the Social Security Administration that my husband paid into who was twenty years older than I was all of his life working only to be given a hassle headache and hard time trying to get funds for my two kids that they were entitled to under their dad paying into the social security for all those years via his taxes! It's great that nonprofit organization can do this but I wish the Social Security Administration would give the money out as easily as it takes it when children are need when one of their parents pass away!😮😮
Give a person a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a person to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime.
The Chinese are overfishing the ocean. Stocks are being depleted.
They’re raising a child. Not catching fish. They need to keep the lights on and rent paid buy diapers and early education resources and healthy food and have stress free time to nourish the child with uniquely human needs before this child can build an appreciation for the natural environment, it’s wildlife and fish and buy a fishing pole.
Then they got to comb through the youtube comments telling them to get a teacher to teach them how to fish but the teachers are treated like toilet bowl cleaners.
That quote used to be profound till it was tossed all lazily.
@@chirelius76 You drawing the wrong parallel. Fish = money
Exactly
Agreed. Freebies only encourage the behavior. I think a work camp works better. A facility where child care is provided, housing and transportation. A beautiful community that has everything they need in addition to industry on site where they can work and earn an income or education in the evening.
Why not be financially responsible… and have kids when you’re in a good financial state
Life throws curve balls.
I think that’s judgmental. You can’t assume that they are not. Maybe the other person left them or died. Not every one makes the same income.
These straggs are single mothers by choice.
@@OMGojiraI have to agree, if a woman is interacting with a blk man, she is absolutely choosing to be a single mother 🫥
or or ..and here's an idea...wait till marriage ...and create a family...not a check
Cool more incentives for single mothers to rely on my taxes.
Is this money taxed like mine is?? Should be.
A free $1,000 a month for 3 years. Where's my help?
This is Awesome‼️ Will this be offered in other States?
Trust, huh? I remember my sister using her child support check to buy herself sone leather pants for the club. True story.
How much was that measly check $80? 😂😂😂
@@niax782WOW! She probably was very young and when you have nothing, and never been taught finance most would do some stupid spending on bulls...
You should have notified the father giving her child support or possibly CPS if you feel she is unfit. Then you can apply to be the baby's guardian.
Only 800 people? I want free stuff too but what happens to these people once the money dries up?
Yea next year they'll be popping out another one.
Universal basic income. Creates dependency
We all know these are just pilot programs, and we should be eternally grateful they are trying SOMETHING. Part of the reason they cant expand is due to everyone that mmediately thinks "what about me" and then works to cancel projects like this when they dont benefit from it. At some point, we've gotta just be happy that our neighbors are able to survive a little easier, and foster a loving environment where these programs CAN grow and expand.
If you too want to a better life, in a better country, then get involved to help enact change for the better. Selfish interests are how we came to be in the mess we are currently in.
No, people who don’t work and have their hands out are how we got here.
That’s not always the case. So sad that people with your thinking still exist and are out polluting the community with your thinking!
These women still aren't on bc and you all still won't speak of it. Women gave free bc 43 kinds. Ridiculous
I'm so disappointed over so many insensitive comments! We are ALL struggling! (except the rich). Im a grandmother now but I raised 4 kids alone because their father (my husband) decided to drink and bash me then run away. It wasn't my choice to raise them alone but I learned about web design and was even able to work at home because of the internet. Don't judge others because everyone's different - you don't know what they're going thru but its much harder when you're alone with kids!
Is this only for single mothers?
The question nobody asks
Bring back planned parenthood and birth control. If you cannot financially care for a child, please don’t have one.
Social worker here making $55,000 a year with two children. Why can’t I get anything? I pay $850 in child care each month and $1100 in rent.. I don’t qualify for assistance, why can’t I get help? Programs like this make it hard for people to want to work because you don’t get help
If you think you're better off with $12k/yr instead of $55k/yr then be my guest Mr Musk
Where is your husband?
@@csanadbarczy9153 here with me😊 military ☺️
You really shouldn’t be in social work. You sound self absorbed.
And social workers should be giving and unselfish.
Stop voting Democrat
Dumb, waste of tax payers dollars, these woman should be given birth control instead of money, she should have thought about how having a second baby will have an impact on her income. The government shouldn’t be the father for these children.
The fathers should be the fathers, but you see how that worked out.
@@niax782 agreed, I know this sounds cold but it’s the truth I have absolutely no sympathy because it was the woman’s and man’s choice to have a baby or engage in the baby making process. Why should tax payers be responsible for bad decision making!
@@TheDodgerDog You’re preaching to the choir!
this isn’t government funded in any way. The Bridge Project is privately funded by a philanthropy organization.
@@dylan3168 even if it’s not, it’s a systemic issue of enabling there needs to be more programs to educate not only women but men as well on how you this effect your future but that’s the age we live in, I’ll leave it at that but thanks for sharing this information!
HAY!! DADDY THE GOVERNMENT has kicked you out the

How about helping people, that are working their butt off and making the right decisions. Can we please reward hard work
Won’t happen anywhere you see blue.
You think these women are not “working their butts off” ?
Can we help working people, TOO? Fixed that for you. 😊
Yes, we can when you and many others agree that lots of people need help as much as you do. If you help them, they will be there to help you.
@@vickiephelps5169 thank you. Hmmm all I see are a bunch of people so used to getting helped they have lost the ability to help themselves.

How about not having a child you can't afford?
This is beautiful and makes me smile🎉
😂😂😂😂. Single parent (usually mother) is beautiful and makes you smile?.
Or wasting taxpayers $?
@@rightsdontcomewithpermits7073 clearly you didn't pay attention this is PRIVATE funding. Which is getting light from the local government. Not everyone who receives assistance is a single mother. It's the benefit and someone caring enough to notice and want to assist and make a difference that is beautiful.
You're heart is precious. Please don't ever change ❤
I need a new Lamborghini! Now that would be wonderful 😅
Stop multiplying like rats please
man im so glad its only for moms and not the dads
sarcasm
No wonder WHY they ALL want to go to NY🙃
No string attached , it's very good. Will see in coming days hope many more people come to help but shouldn't be any agenda behind this except trying to influence theose who are still together. Hope you get it.🙏
California here help is needed
That’s truly Prolife!! ❤️❤️
Thier are many people in society that could benefit from such a program. Especially our Seniors. We really need to focus on the family unit all of these children have fathers why aren't they exspected to assist financially toward the daily needs of thier own children. Programs like this won't last forever I get it especially with the cost of just feeding your children but history has showed in the end these programs just make families more dependent on the Government which doesn't help families to movd up in society. Thats the way the Government controls masses of people so much so that they become fearful and remain in the exact situation as thier passed generations leading them back into poverty. Money can't solve society's problems. Education is the only way out of poverty. I'm all for giving 1000 a month towards education I wonder if these mothers are working Moms. I will have to ask my sister who has been working 2 jobs so her child has a better life and find out if she is eligible odds are not.
Anything they want no strings attached... New purse here it comes 👜
I feel it should be like a HSA/FSA where you have verify it was an expense for a child.
This is private funded and no I purchase diapers and food for my child; no new purses here. I'm in the program and all this money goes to my child necessaries and everything for him. So stop with ignorance. This program intention is to lift women up form poverty. I make 48k in NYC I can't get any assistance not that I care for it because I pay everything myself. When this program came into my obrit it was a blessing because everything is so expensive. When the formula shortage was happening they was selling 1 formula for over 100 dollars !!!! Inflation is real and no one is giving higher raises to anyone ! I have bachelor degrees and all and have a good job so stop it.

What about single dads?
No one helped him!
I truly Believe Universe Basic Income Is SOMETHING WE SHOULD 100% DO TODAY!!
But.. IT SHOULD NOT ONLY be for Women who Aren’t RESPONSIBLE & Have children with Men that THEY KNOW WILL NOT BE A FATHER & WONT BE IN THEIR LIVES!!!
How about giving them birth control or condoms. If you can't take care of yourself why bring another person in
They won’t use condoms because they don’t like the feeling women hate condoms as much as men
In other words, those of us who work and make good decisions in life, now have to subsidize the bad decisions of lose women…. More daddy government protecting women and punishing the rest of us
So, you’re not irritated at the fathers that abandon their kids en masse? You’re irritated at the women? Got it.
This is not govt. money but a private, philanthropic endeavor.
Disgusting. More babies =more money. What happened to responsibility and consequences. Just make everything free for single moms… or… stop having kids if you can’t support them!
The costco stock 10Xed because they accept govt payments
Ever heard of birth control.
Oh there are strings attached but the "strings" have not been revealed yet...just wait for it💉😑
Give them a job.
So what is this teaching the kids of the mother of this program
Yang Gang 2020!
What about single fathers? Also no strings attached? If it was ab babies why not make it just for them? This is just private welfare you only get if u have a kid regardless of if u put that money towards them.
This is a beautiful expression of the recognition that raising children, and babies even more, is work that takes a lot of time and effort.
The project allows moms to be with their babies, as they should be.
Those kids need fathers or they are doomed .
@@maximusolivia9982Welp, they’re doomed then 😂🤷🏽♀️ blk men aren’t exactly known for raising their kids.
@@niax782 so what do you suggest? Back in the 60s, There was a much higher rate of a 2 parent household . What changed?
@@maximusolivia9982 Nothing changed. Blk men have always abandoned their kids.
My suggestion is prison or military for deadbeats.
@@niax782Black women ain't exactly know for not taking half a man money when they want a divorce because they do not feel good or have no problem taking child support money to pay for their life style 😊
So let me get this right everybody now has to pay money because someone decided to be a mom? Not only that but where are the fathers at?
Come on now. You know blk men don’t raise their kids. The fathers are out there making more babies that they won’t support.
Baby daddy is in the Dominican Republic 🫣 has a child with a man who don’t even live here whom she’s not married to and hen wonders why he didn’t want to stay to raise the kid. Stop rewarding women who make stupid choices.
Exactly, like they already get huge tax breaks. I know this will help a lot of single mothers but it just seems like a bandaid to the real problem of stagnant wages, missing fathers, and high cost of living. But it’s just messed up watching people get $5-8k tax returns for having kids, meanwhile I pay thousands a year in taxes and barely get $1000 back.
The baby daddy is in the Dominican Republic...hmmmm
Sounds like a "girls trip" gone wrong.😮

Not true they also had it open for the Bronx and Manhattan too. They are privately funded not government funded meaning someone giving their own money.

Wonderful project, and I give my deepest respect to the mothers shown and described in this video. I just hope that it doesn't become a draw for people to have more kids they can't afford and thus suffer later, or a horrible way to get drug money.
Awsome!
Uhhhhh, I’m just going to give an insane solution that might sound so stupid but what if we do the craziest thing ever and lower the rent….duh…..wait, another weird solution would be to increase work pay. I’m over with these super strange solutions that would begin to help. But of course not. They’re like, let’s spoon feed them and then starve them when they least expect it but need it the most. Somebody please come out in White House because the bills I’d make up and get passed would blow 🤯 their rich pockets to bits
What would happen if you give a new mom $1000 if she doesn't have any more babies? 😂
What about the fathers out there needing help?
I see that ignorance will be pushed into another generation from these comments!
There should be an income for stay at home parents. Just a thought.
Some ppl choose not to welcome a kid or kids into the world because they know they can't financially afford it. From my experience, I've seen ppl continue on this dependency by having more kids.
Harry & MM, sell off your clothes & raise funds to support them. Testing time for Old barren 🥜 Meg4D. Put all your words into action. Closest to home. Reach out Harry, to these kids.
These people should be thought Planned Parenthood. You cannot take care of your own child then don’t give birth for other people hard earned tax dollars to spend on unnecessary . I have a Foster child who I’m taking care of since 2019, do you know how much I’m getting for Fostercare $635.00 each month.
It is funded through a private family foundation
I have an idea. How about, if you're struggling financially, don't have a kid, use a condom. They should be giving a free condoms instead.
No way, I don’t support this at all.
This might inadvertently incentivize individuals to consider, maybe even force having children just to get some extra crack money, or possibly even leading to increased rates of teen pregnancy. I feel like either every American should get the 1k or none. On a side note, Section 8, food stamps etc. and now 1k a month. This isn't the answer smh.
Nobody said it was the answer but it helps and you can't talk about people using that money for crack when you look the way you look.

Money is always nice. "No strings attached" seems generous. Does this non-profit really care? Do they offer any other kind of assistance like counseling and home visits? Why are the mothers in their situations?
Terrible
Need to crunch numbers BEFORE deciding to have children. So, if you can’t afford the simple things like diapers… please use good birth control , please !
Stop pumping out units.
I have an idea get married.
Where da baby daddy?
This is going to help so many at risk.
Why only new mothers? How about or should be mothers with young children? Why only New York?- bc it’s liberal..? Help us all out
So they have to be single🤔 1:34 ok I get it!
This is really nice😅
The welfare paradox
This doesn't help the black community. All it does is continue to say, " we'll reward you for making irresponsible decisions that result in bringing a child into this world ".
It’s not supposed to “help the black community” (that blk men wrecked) - it’s supposed to help the _children_ that blk men continue to abandon.
😮💨😔
This project need lots of of support it has been a life changer for me .
Still enabling irresponsible behaviors.
