Wishing You Well


Help For Single Moms

Posted in Hopes by WellWisher on the October 9, 2005

A young college student has been inspired by her friends’ recent misfortunes to create a website to raise funds for singls moms. All monies generated by Google adsense on single-moms.org will be used to create a “Super Single-Mom Scholarship Cash Award”.

The site owner is appealing for help with site admin, graphics, forum posts and content, but you can help by just visiting and signing up.

This is a bold plan to help single moms, from someone who has personal experience of the issue, growing up in a single parent family herself. I wish them well.

  1. Single Moms said,

    Thank you so much for your help and support. I havn’t even told Megan(Gal I am dedicating it to) about the site yet :-P , don’t want her to get imbarrased thats why I havn’t used her name on the page. Once more I would just like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart :-* heck from the very top too

    Only need several more kind souls like yourself and we might beable to get this organization off the ground a bit.

  2. WellWisher said,

    No problem, I am only too happy to mention single-moms.org – it’s a great idea. I’ll report your upcoming news here too if it will help.

  3. Single Mom said,

    Wow that would be amazing, I have a feeling this is going to end up becoming a very great organization with the help of people like you. If only there were more bloggers like yourself, we could be giving scholarships by next weekend :-D Looking like it might take a bit longer, although who knows this is the interent after all ;-) Things change in mili-seconds not day on here :-P

    Once again thank you so much you are a great asset to the internet and example for bloggers everywhere. :-*

    Having played single mom for 5 years I say give them all the help possible to create a life for themselves above and beyond necessity!

    I am a graphic designer and would be happy to create a header to replace your current forum header. Just send me the image dimensions you need.

    I am disabled and thanks to MsWeCare (a non profit) who has a similar program for the disabled I was able to pull myself up by my own bootstraps. They provided me with the initial resources to set up my business online.

    I am curious to know if you’ll be setting this up as a non-profit. Depending upon where you’re located this can run from $10 to $50. You don’t have to be a 501c3 non profit. I know that MsWeCare generates it’s own funding it this might be something you’d want to do for yourself.

    Anyway good luck!

    Kristy, first of all let me congratulate you on your accomplishments, which are something to be truly proud of.

    I only wish that singlemoms.org was in a position to take advantage of your generous offer but it seems that nothing much has happened to the site since launch, which is very sad.

    I also help out with a couple of charity websites, mainly as a way of giving, and I know there are so many deserving causes out there that would be thrilled to have your help with their sites so keep it up! I wish you well.


  7. Personally I think the person who gives to someone is the person who deserves the best in life. This site at least allows people to see that their are communities out their willing to help people in need and people who really are king hearted.

  8. Dan said,

    Sounds fab! I am a webmaster myself, i can help out with the site admin and graphics side if she still requires any assistance and i dont see why not i couldn’t regulary post on the forums! :D

  9. wellwisher said,

    Good news, I hope! I found a recently started WordPress.com blog called Mothers 2 Mothers that is dedicated to helping single moms, so if any of you who have offered help are looking for a deserving cause, you might want to pop on over there and check it out at http://motherstomothers.wordpress.com/

    I think this is a way forward for single mums sometimes a little lift can go a long way.

  19. theone said,

    hi,
    you should have tell a friend feature on this blog :-)


  20. [...] use of the sidebar text widget. I can’t claim credit for the idea, because it came from a comment by someone known only to me as ‘The One’ (cute name!). Forgive me if I take the kudos [...]

  21. WellWisher said,

    @ ‘theone’ thanks for the great idea! I went ahead and added a mailto’ link.

  22. David said,

    I have a friend who is a single mum and I have forwarded her the link to this site, i’m sure you’ll be recieving another a comment shortly!

  23. parasailing said,

    nice info well laid out and keep posting

  24. Lee said,

    Hello
    I have the upmost respect for single parents especially single moms. I have actually set a website well 2 websites of my own up just to make parents lives easier. kiddiekids.co.uk and ebabee.co.uk. Please note i am not spamming here i am just basically saying single parents should not feel they are alone and have no support.

    I will definately look into supporting this website.

    Thanks

    p.s i set both sites up to bring a better community to educate new / experienced parents. There is lots of FREE info for them out there and i want to help you find it. I also provide fun stuff for your kids to help keep them entertained. The websites are free to use.

  25. WellWisher said,

    Lee, well done for all your goood intentions directed towards helping parents. I visited both sites, and have to say I think that you could use more of the free content because right now they look like a custom Google search page and an online store, but it’s early days so keep going!

  26. Andy said,

    Great Sites. I agree with Wellwisher, you need to use the word FREE more. When i visited i would not have know the site was FREE based. This might put others off from using it

  27. Bill said,

    Sites are great, but don’t forget the single fathers. They also have it tough.


  28. Hi Ladies,

    its a great looking site and I applaud the sincerity and the motives but if I may be so bold and not meaning to be critical, would someone please run a spell check, there are a number of minor errors.

  29. Deane said,

    Its always good to offer help and kindness. Keep it up


  30. It’s really good to know that there are kind hearted people out there even today with all the bad things going on around us. My girlfriend mom is single and she struggle her whole life until she met her Mr. Right who saved her from financial crisis.

    I will be doing my best to click :)

    Keep up the good work

  31. Omar said,

    Thanks for doing good work.

  32. Peter said,

    nice to hear that those things actually happens in real life. the world is full of pure people.

  33. Craig said,

    What the world needs is a little more kindness. It is good to see that there are those of you who are willing to help others. Good Job!!!
