HOPE FOR SINGLE MOMS
Changing the world for single mom families
What if I told you that you could change two lives?
Would you ask, "How?"
When you invest your resources or your time, you change lives!
Everything you do helps because…
together we’re better!
Helping each other gives hope and changes lives!
Our Mission
is to invite you to walk alongside a single mom to decrease the loneliness and isolation she feels, to give her hope and encourage her as a student parent on her journey to becoming financially stable and having children who thrive.
WHY
Single moms do it all alone. They drop their children off at daycare or school, go to work, pick their children up, make dinner, help with homework, tuck them in to bed, to do it all again the next day and the next. And then, they are together all weekend. No break. No social life. No adult conversation.
Nearly half of single moms work minimum-wage jobs and are unable to pay all the bills. Hope for Single Moms uses a “teach-a-woman-to-fish” approach. With a better paying job, single moms can provide well for their children. With better food, children will grow better physically and do well academically.

Meet our mom on her student parent journey and our single mom success stories.
But they need YOU to invest your time and resources to help them go back to school. By doing so you fight poverty and childhood hunger in single mom families. Learn more

A Message From Our Director & Founder
We are honored you want to learn how to impact two generations today. At Hope for Single Moms, we believe children are our future, but not all children are set up for success. In nearly half of single mom families, children live in poverty and are hungry. Hungry children can’t focus on school. You can change that.
Most single moms are making minimum wage. According the US Labor statistics, a woman can double her lifetime earnings by earning a post high school education. That’s how we help.
Loss of wages while in school and the cost childcare prevent many single moms from pursuing a career education. The road is difficult. School, homework, parenting, and life can be overwhelming.
Everyone needs help and encouragement at times. That’s where you come in!
Become part of a movement empowering women. The ways you can make a difference are endless.
Join a single mom success story.
It’s like loving your daughter.
