Dr. Frederick Abramson (last week’s breakfast speaker) wants to end the single-mother poverty-pregnancy cycle. His background in business and genetic science led him to create Fresh Start Science as a new type of lifechanging program. This non-profit program starts by testing the mother and child for 100 different normal genes that show natural talents, tendencies and affinities.

The DNA cross-section identifies inputs to her personality, weight control, creativity, behavior and other everyday characteristics. This baseline blueprint becomes the working template for coaching and mentoring, which helps the single mother build self-esteem and a can-do attitude. The program then connects her to appropriate community resources to give her a fresh start in life. Participating single mothers will not be charged.
