6 Ways to Bless a Single Mom

  1. Volunteer to watch her kids:

    This is especially helpful for single moms who don’t have family nearby. Establish a relationship, gain her trust and offer to help with the kids once a month or twice a month. Maybe you have older children, this is a great way for them to serve or

  2. Provide an occasional meal:

    Menu planning can be daunting, to say the least, especially on busy weeks. Freezer meals are great to give to mom to use on extra busy nights, or a ready-made warm meal when you know the family is busy or mom is sick.

  3. Offer to help with chores and home repairs:

    Help lighten her load and offer to tackle any major chores, laundry or yard work. There are many repairs around the home that need two sets of hands, offer to help out with simple home repairs. Our friends at American Rooter plumbing said they have a program where once a month they do free plumbing work for single moms in their area.

  4. Include the family in your special celebrations or casual events:

    If the mother and children live away from family, holidays can get lonely. Invite them over for holiday gatherings, or when visiting a park, zoo or fair. This is a great way to offer the mother and her children a valuable sense of belonging. 

  5. Invite her out for a moms night out:

    Help provide a baby sitter and invite her out for a fun evening with fellow moms. If you have older children, they might be able to help out with babysitting needs.

  6. Offer a listening ear:

    Especially for a newly separated or divorced mother and her children. Go out for coffee, text, message or call with words of support or just offer a listening ear. If your friend is doing a great job raising her children, tell her!

    Lastly, ask how you can help meet the unique needs of the family you know. You won’t be able to meet every need but even the smallest gesture can make a difference.

  1. This seems like my last resort. I have a huge support system but I am a single mother only 21 with a 2 year old son. I recently moved to baton rouge from Cleveland ohio about a year ago. I had my own apartment when I first arrived here but unfortunately my job cut a my hours to a maximum of maybe 10 hours a week only making 8.00 An hour. So I had to moved back in with my mom because I couldn’t afford the rent. It’s very hard and stressful for me because I don’t get any kind of assistance for childcare. They won’t approve my case because I don’t make 30+ hours… I really feel like this will help encourage me and enlighten me on the resources that Louisiana had to offer. I need a miracle… I feel like this program just May be the answer to my prayers.

  2. The good news is that you could now purchase this
    supplement for weight loss online, than it’s at Walmart where it is not only more economical, however you will
