Single MOMM

Meet Eden, our Donor Engagement Representative at Headquarters.

The goggles may be different now, but the kid underneath them isn't all that different.

Eden has always been someone who looks for the fun in a situation. Over the years, life has brought challenges, growth, and plenty of unexpected turns, but her playfulness that God created within her has always remained steady.

At Single MOMM, Eden enjoys building relationships with people -hearing their stories and finding ways to celebrate what matters most to them. She witnesses generosity firsthand with every gift representing a person choosing to invest in hope, healing, and opportunity for single mothers and their children. She doesn’t know how it could be anymore fun than that!

We would love to hear your story, learn what has shaped you, and connect with you. Reach out to one of our local offices - we'd be honored to meet you

Long before Single MOMM existed, Jennifer was already living out the heart of its mission.

As a little girl, she could often be found racing through the living room dressed as Wonder Woman—drawn to courage, justice, and helping those who needed someone in their corner. What looked like childhood imagination was actually a glimpse of the calling God was weaving into her story.

Years later, that same passion became Single MOMM.

Today, Jennifer leads our team with a fierce belief that when a single mom has a safe place to be seen, heard, and encouraged, everything can change.

And often, it starts with something simple:
A cup of coffee. A piece of chocolate. A conversation.

To the momma who is scared she isn't going to make it - we SEE you and we are here for you.

I always meant to stop in and find out what they offered, but I was skeptical and a bit scared to stop. Then one day on my way home from dropping my daughter off, I drove past their new office sign and something propelled me to stop. One hour later, my world wasn't transformed, but I felt seen and understood! What a gift to be able to sit with coffee, chocolate, and women who get what it is like to be a single mom.

A single mom sat in the parking lot of the church and took a few deep breaths to calm herself. Worry and anxiety raced through her mind. She unloaded her three-year-old daughter from the car and slowly made her way forward to our Mother’s Day event night. So many people recommended Single MOMM to her after she was widowed. She didn’t know any other single moms but she longed for community and connection. After losing her husband, she often felt alone – like nobody understood what she was going through. She took another deep breath before opening the door to go inside.

A group of volunteers joyfully welcomed her daughter – ready to play with her while mom headed in for dinner. Instantly, she was greeted with a hug and a warm cup of coffee from our staff. “You can sit by me!” said another mom. That was all it took. Over the next two hours, she laughed and smiled with other moms. For the first time in a long time, she felt seen and she was already looking forward to the next event.

If you’ve ever sat in the parking lot, debating on whether you should go in or not, know that you are not alone. Someone will be there to greet you with a warm cup of coffee and save a seat for you at the table.

There is space for you here.

At our recent Mother’s Day event nights, where we celebrated our amazing single mommas, we gifted them each a book on gratitude. Practicing gratitude can have such a positive impact on one’s life. We can witness and savor God’s goodness in everything around us – no matter how big or how small.

“Life is a gift. And it is for you. The best things in life often aren’t things at all. They are experiences lived, emotions felt, and connections made. These are the things that sparkle in our memory. And it is when we are feeling grateful that we can perform our most beautiful acts and appreciate our most treasured moments.” - an excerpt from Feeling Grateful by Kobi Yamada.

We can’t help but to feel immensely grateful, for our single mommas, our team, our donors, and our volunteers. Thank you for allowing us to share these experiences, emotions, and connections with you and with each other.

This is what our community is all about.
