Single Parents Please Read
"The love between a parent and child is a major building block of a strong family, and it's even possible in a single-parent household!" - Kristi Divin
It's no secret that parenting is a challenge, and sadly doesn't come with a rule or guidebook, however there is help everywhere, especially for the single parents across the globe that struggle with much more than simply being there to love and protect their children! I am a dedicated mother of two that has been in that situation herself, in fact there was a three-year period when it felt like all I did was struggle, mainly with finances, but I quickly discovered that as long as you have the will power and dedication you will find the resources needed to thrive. It is with empathy and compassion for the single parents in the world today, that I am going to soon start building a new, online community with effective resources to aide in raising the children that they love so dearly so hopefully life will not continue to be a huge strain on that bond.
⭐⭐⭐Introducing Sources for Singles⭐⭐⭐
Sources for Singles is a new, free service I will be offering soon that is nothing more than providing information to useful resources for single-parent households to lift some of that financial struggle that they experience on a regular basis. These resources will be anything from effective side hustles to grants to finding jobs to affordable health insurance and everything in between. My hope by doing this is simply to help single parents provide for their family a little easier, then by doing so hopefully they will be confident enough to find their feet again! I am sure that through this process there will be those who question my credibility with this project, and that's fine because everyone is entitled to their own opinion but let me assure you if you have any doubt at all, I will be listing contact information for the resources as well, so do the follow-up and see for yourself. To begin the launch of this project, I am going to list some resources common for the emotional support of single parents today!
