Single Mom's of Today

Being a single mom myself at one point in my life, I realized that there is hope and help out there.

I struggled for many years of my life with only the loving support of my parents. I found myself pregnant at the age of 21 and all alone to raise a child. When I found out I was pregnant, so many thoughts of horror went through my mind. I had no money, no car, and no job. How was I going to be able to provide for an infant??

After talking with my family and very careful consideration. I decided to keep the baby and move back home with my parents help. I always was an independant person and I did not want to rely on anyone for help, Yes, I have to admit I was very stubborn.

But, the only way for me to get on my feet was to get help from the government.

I worked my whole life starting at the young age of 15. I saved up a little and was always a very responsible person. While speaking with some supportive staff at a local DES office, I signed up for as much help as possible. The father of my child was not about to help me out, so why not get help to get on my own.

If it weren't for help from the government, I would have never made it.

They offer:

Cash Assistance

Food Stamps

Job Opportunities

Medical

and much more.

Because I was pregnant, I was also given help at a place called WIC, for women, infants and children. They were able to help provide more food for myself and my unborn child.

I found myself at many shelters talking with other single mom's and they also made me realize just how much help is out there.

I was not alone! I had family, support and opportunity to gain more with the help that I received than to try and make it on my own.

If you are in this situation, Do not feel Alone! There is more help out there than you can imagine. Churches are willing to help if you attend. I was also given the chance at going back to college to get a degree. Fortunately my college offered child care while attending classes and this helped me out big time.

I am now, after many years of being single, married to the greatest man in the world. After everything that I went through, to the life I live now, I am able to be here as a friend and motivator for other single mom's. I am more than willing to be listen and give the best personal advice as I can in order to help make a positive difference in you're life.

From Single Mom to Single Mom, From Friend to Friend.

With Love,

Steph.
