Single MOMM hosts Event Nights, gatherings, classes, retreats, and mentoring sessions that require a multitude of items. These Wishlists help offset the items we need to feed families at events, organize paperwork for women in legal crisis, teach life skill classes, equip moms to support the mental health of their children, and much more. Each Amazon Wishlist shows the ongoing needs of one of our Single MOMM areas.

For the average working single mom, after childcare costs, vehicle expenses, household costs, and food there is very little leftover for unexpected expenses. Many women pick-up extra work hours to offset inflation and still find themselves in a place where they are financially drowning. The average household income for our families is between $28,000 and $46,000, putting them significantly under the living wage.
Single MOMM is committed to providing financial assists to women that are participating in our programming. We believe in coupling financial assistance with mentorship for long term sustainability.
