I came to the office the first time in May and the sweet lady that told me more about the program and the Single Parent Resource Guide was so kind. I was a mess: no job, no car, and an 8 month old, a tween, and a senior in high school .The resource book she handed me guided me through the next few months. Somehow, someway I got those kids to school, food on the table, and kept moving forward.
I wanted to let you know how grateful I am to your program and the men who helped me...I could not be happier with the work they did in my home.
The support the SMO gives encourages us to pick back up and keep going. It's especially important to me when my family/friends may not truly understand the difficulties of being a single mom and trying to make it all happen all the time all by yourself.
I am a working parent, and even though I make decent money, it is a stretch doing everything as a single parent.
I’ve learned how to stand on my own two feet and provide for my family. Specifically, I’ve been able to get a handle on the amount of money spent each month on groceries and household supplies by making menus and a list and sticking to the list when shopping instead of just random “Oh, we need this and that”.
