Hope for Single Moms

Fighting poverty and childhood hunger in single mom families.

Contact HSM How Can I Help?

We believe every baby is a gift from God.

Our Mission

To fight poverty and childhood hunger in single mom families, as we give single moms a hand up with a career education.

Our Goal

To remove the financial barriers single moms encounter when pursuing a career education, mainly living and daycare expenses, (and to provide a network of academic, financial and spiritual support to help them succeed in school and reach their fullest potential.)

The Result

We lift them out of poverty.

Higher (career) education allows the mother to reach her full potential, provides her with job opportunities resulting in financial self-sufficiency and removes the family from public assistance!

(It gives her children the nutrition they need to focus on school and achieve their dream of college.)

Welcome to Hope for Single Moms

A message from Carla Engel Ludwig,
Director and Founder of Hope for Single Moms.

We are honored you want to learn more about us and how you can impact two generations today.

“I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.”
(The Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston)

At Hope for Single Moms, we believe children are our future! But for the children of half of single mom families, the future doesn’t look good. They live in poverty. They’re hungry and can’t focus on school. You can change that.

Most single moms are making minimum wage. According the US Labor statistics, she can double her lifetime earnings with a post high school education.

You can make that happen.

The loss of wages and child support while she is in school and the high cost of daycare are the greatest barriers to getting that education.

You can change that.

The road is difficult. School, homework, parenting and life can be overwhelming. You can change that. A mentor increases her success by over 50%.

Everyone needs help and encouragement at times. Become part of a movement empowering women and helping them achieve financial freedom. The ways you can make a difference are endless.

Join a single mom success story. It’s like loving your daughter.

Our goal is their success.

Why?

Single mom families are a growing segment of our population. Nearly half, not all, of single mom families live in poverty. Their children are hungry and can’t focus on school. Their M-STEP scores prove this. Our goal is to change that.

How?

We address this issue by helping single moms get a better than minimum wage job by helping them get a career education. She can then provide better for her family. With a better job, she can buy better food. With better nutrition, her children will do better in school.

What?

By helping pay for living and daycare expenses, we make up for the loss of income (from her job while in school) and the loss of child support during school time.
