Single Moms and Money

One of the places I seem to find myself often is in the living room of a single mom. All too often these situations are one’s where the father has completely removed himself physically and financially from the picture and the struggles and responsibilities are completely the burden of the mom. Many of us are all to aware of the financial costs associated with raising children, and a completely different dynamic occurs when you are facing raising that child physically and financially alone. Yes the government does pitch in a little extra, but they are stingy and you have to meet their strict standards, and weave through their maze to qualify. Many of these moms are afraid to ask for help because they are afraid of the potential costs, or that there is nothing that can be done, and hopelessness has set in.

Moms, please, ASK FOR HELP! We are here for you. I cannot promise you the moon but I can promise to take a through look and provide you with everything in our network to better equip you with support and services you might be requiring. We are not going to send you a bill at the end of your appointment, nor are we going to sell you something that will make your tight budget even more strangling. Stop allowing money and fear to keep you imprisoned, get some advice, make a plan and be empowered through your situation. I want to see you become a success, the success you were created to be, and I want you to know that this season doesn’t last forever, there is light at the end of what can feel like an endless tunnel, and when you get to that place I want you to know that you are in the best position that you could possibly be. You will be there because you will be totally aware, and have the ability to make the decisions necessary to protect you and your little one.

The thing most dear to my heart is the ability to help as many single moms as possible reach financial freedom and refuse to buy into the belief that this is a poverty sentence or that they need to have a second income through a new partner to succeed. I long to see these women have the ability to chose a partner instead of need a partner, and I want them to enjoy the entire process. I have found that awareness coupled with an action plan is the best sleeping medication on the market. So embrace this season in your life, get the tools you need and get out there and ROCK IT!
