Play Santa for a Single Mom Family
If you like to give gifts and make kids smile (and moms, too), please play Santa to one of our Hope for Single Moms’ families. Single moms struggle to make ends meet. Christmas is an especially difficult time. They want to have presents under the tree, but… You can gift a family, a child or a mom. Learn more.

What if you could change two lives!
You can!
It takes a team–a Dream team–a group of passionate monthly givers, who are determined to end childhood hunger and change lives–a tribe–volunteers helping her do life–to help a single mom write her own Cinderella story. Give her hope and encouragement on her student parent journey.

Leslie
Leslie started her student parent journey with Hope for Single Moms while she was pregnant. She took one week off of school when she had her son. Two months later, she graduated with a certificate in medical coding and billing. Afterwards, Leslie got her associates degree online while working and taking care of Lincoln.

Single moms struggle with juggling work, school, daycare and a million other issues. This organization helps with all of that. Once a mom finishes school, she can get a much better, higher-paying job and thus, her children will thrive. That’s the point! We need to raise educated, happy children who will grow up and have their dreams come to fruition. This organization is a great start in order to help with our whole society.
Follow our families on their student parent journeys as together we help them write their Cinderella stories. Find out how you can encourage them.

A Message From Our Director & Founder
Dr. Carla Engel Ludwig
We are honored you want to learn how to impact two generations. 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!
Nearly half of single moms are making minimum wage. That doesn’t pay the bills, much less allow their children to thrive. According to US Labor statistics, a woman can double her lifetime earnings by getting a post high school education.
DONATE TO CHANGE THAT!
Loss of wages while in school and the cost of living and daycare expenses prevent many single moms from pursuing a career education. School, homework, parenting, and life can be overwhelming.
VOLUNTEER TO CHANGE THAT!
Become part of a movement empowering women.
The ways you can make a difference are endless.
