Grants For Single Moms

It’s never easy being a single mom and the statistics say that 85% of single parent households are headed by women and of those about 40% are living at or below the poverty line.

The article “Grants for Single Moms” compiles several services that can help moms figure out the best way to get on their feet and provide for their families.
