There is a growing trend to have children outside of marriage, whereas, it use to be only the poor and minorities women.

Today, out of the 12,000,000 million single parents, nearly 10,000,000 are single mothers. 49% of them were never married

and 51% come from divorce, separation and widowed. Nearly 39% live at or below the poverty level.

With all those facts, single mothers must still spend time with their children, manage the home, work long hard days and

have little to no extra time or finances to attend college to better their future and their children’s future. As well, women’s

earnings are far less than comparable work of men. About $.78 to a $1 for the same job and less are found in a leadership

position. Single mothers often spends over half their income on housing expenses and a third on child care. Surprisingly

there are a total of about 2 million single mother students and they have little to no means to contribute financially to their

education.

We want to help and encourage single mothers to all they can be ….
