WHY

Single mom families are a growing segment of our population. Nearly half of single mom families live in poverty, their children are hungry and M-STEP scores prove they are unable to focus in school.

WHAT

We give assistance for living and childcare expenses so that single moms can attain an education and ﬁnd suitable jobs to best support their families. We also provide academic, ﬁnancial, and spiritual support.

HOW

With the help of donors and volunteers, we are able to provide childcare, ﬁnancial assistance, spiritual support, tutors, mentoring, and more. Become a supporter today!

In Single Mom Families:

30%
are considered food insecure

With a majority of income going towards housing and childcare, little money is left over for things like food.

34%
are at or below the poverty level

This is nearly five times more than the rate for married-couple families.

14%
did not complete high school

Over half of their income is spent on housing and a third on childcare, leaving them with less money for educational expenses.

40%
of total income is spent on childcare

This can increase or decrease depending on the age and amount of children in childcare.

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 50% of single mom families, children live in poverty, 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 and cost of child support prevent many single moms from having the ability to persue an education. The road is difﬁcult. School, homework, parenting, and life can be overwhelming.

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.
