Causes: Christianity, Education, Religion, Single Parent Agencies, Universities

Mission: We invite the community to walk alongside single moms to decrease the loneliness and isolation they feel, to give them hope and encouragement on their student parent journey to financial stability and to helping them have children who thrive.

Results: We have had two clients complete our program and who are both working full-time in their area of certification. We have three single moms in school--two in college and one in trade school. We will have a fourth single mom beginning this fall. In addition, we've worked with several families by helping with credit card debt and car repairs to build a firm foundation before going back to school.
