Moms need support. All moms need a break. All moms have difficult seasons. One of my closest friends is a single Mom. I met her over 15 years ago in a coffee house when her daughter was 18 months old. She was living in a shelter, having had the courage she did to leave an abusive relationship. Over the first year that I knew her we would just run into each other at the coffee house and chat. She was having a heck of a time. Her 18 month old daughter needed heart surgery and a blood transfusion. I was no hero to this women; just a listening ear. I did end up walking along side her, my friend; a single mom. My life was and is enriched because of knowing her and we have had so many amazing times together. 15 years ago there was not a great deal of support for Single Moms. Sure there is support and there was then but what kind of support? My friend did not want to depend on others and worked hard as a home health care provider to make ends meet for her family. What she needed was a friend, emotional support.

You may be a single mom who has support. Your child’s Father may be emotionally available or at image from Making Ends Meetleast, simply available. My friend did not have this support. Many single moms do not. Today I came across a wonderful website, Making Ends Mee t, support for the single Mother. The site has amazing resources and encouragement for single moms. Join their community and receive on-line or in person support!

If you are a single mom I think you will find this site useful. If you have a single mom in your life or know of a mom who would benefit from this information, (most of us do) please pass it on..

If you are interested in changing your life in the areas of Wellness, Relationships, Career, Money, and Life Balance; Start a local single moms support group chapter of Making Ends Meet

About the founder:

History and Mission Making Ends Meet, Inc. a501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2004. Its mission is to expand and impact the lives of single mothers, and to support and honor children living in a single parent family home; in an positive, uplifting, and loving way. We promote personal development and self-sufficiency for single working mothers nationwide.

Monique Neeley founded Making Ends Meet when she was a struggling single mother in 1996. Monique went through many struggles along the way while raising her only child. Once she was able to overcome her obstables she decided to start a cause to help other single moms that may be in need of support and a network of women to empower them. Monique was able to connect with a network of like-minded women that uplifted and guided her along the way in her tough journey at that time. She decided to create a network for all singlemoms to have a place where they can come together and learn more about who they are and to makechanges and set goals to get them to where they needed to be so that theycouldcreate a better life, not just for themselves but for their family, friends, family, and at work. This is just the beginning for all single moms across the U.S. to take charge of their lives and make a difference.
