WHEREAS, Some of the many obstacles overcome by Caren Bright
of Dallas inspired her to found Pamper Lake Highlands, an
organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of generational
poverty for women and children; and
WHEREAS, After a childhood beset with hardship, Ms. Bright
found herself in a situation of extreme poverty as a young adult;
however, with the help of her neighbors and friends, she was able to
earn her GED, take community college classes, and provide a
brighter future for her own children; and
WHEREAS, In 2014, Ms. Bright decided to support other mothers
facing financial difficulties by establishing Pamper Lake
Highlands; this notable nonprofit conducts annual diaper drives,
the most recent of which collected more than 72,000 diapers for
distribution to families in need; because Ms. Bright credits her
success to five key elements--education, counseling, parenting
classes, Bible study, and addiction recovery--her organization
offers a variety of courses in these areas; as long as the 80 women
currently served by the organization attend classes, they receive
free diapers for their children, as well as curriculum-based child
care; and
WHEREAS, Caren Bright serves as a remarkable example of
generosity, fortitude, and perseverance, and she is indeed
deserving of recognition for her outstanding contributions to the
Dallas community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend Caren Bright for her support of
Dallas-area mothers and children through Pamper Lake Highlands and
extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success with her
important work; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Bright as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
