Singleton Moms

Singleton Moms is a community dedicated to lessening the burdens of single parents with cancer and their families.

This year our goal is to raise $5,000 for our Singleton Moms Cleans Program . Thank you for your support, we could not do it without you!

Imagine your close friend, neighbor or family member is a struggling single parent undergoing active cancer treatment. What would you do to help? That question was the driving force that launched Singleton Moms.

Singleton Moms is a small, Arizona-based non-profit with a mighty vision. We are dedicated to nurturing single parents battling cancer and their minor children. We do this by meeting the practical day-to-day needs of the entire family, while providing hope for tomorrow. Our resources are based solely upon community support. Donor support allows us to reach more parents. The single most impactful way you can make a difference in the lives of these families is through monetary support. This enables us, through our essential programs, to reach more single Arizona parents struggling to simply make it through the day-to-day challenges while battling cancer.

Singleton Moms programs focus on the practical day-to-day needs of the entire family while they are struggling through the single parent's cancer crisis. These programs have been developed specifically from experience in the types of support our families request most. All of our support services are at no charge to Singleton Moms families.

Our programs include: Singleton Kitchen, Singleton Pockets, Bare Necessities, and Singleton Cleans

For families where the sole parent has cancer, the Singleton Kitchen program is especially important because it simplifies meal preparation so dinner gets on the table even when the parent is sick or exhausted. All meals are made by volunteers in partnership with Dream Dinners, with a focus on nutrition and the needs of the mother and her children. Well-balanced, pre-prepared meals are provided to ensure that nutrition is a priority within the home and to promote time spent as a family over dinner.

We all know how quickly the expense of household necessities such as laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. can add up. The Bare Necessities program provides families with a supply of most-needed household items that are used in the home daily. This keeps the home running smoothly and helps to reduce the financial burden that is associated with restocking practical household. The Bare Necessities items are provided through community drives held in partnership with many companies, churches, schools, clubs and organizations.

Bills, bills, bills … any person with serious illness knows the real financial hardship it creates. Singleton Pockets allocates a small stipend per month to be applied directly toward a household bill such as rent/mortgage, utility (water, electric). Payments are made through the Singleton Moms Accounting Department and cash is never given directly to the parent.
Singleton Pockets helps to keep the household running as normally as possible, and lessens the stress of monthly financial obligations which in turns causes chronic stress and delays the healing process.

A sparkling clean house is definitely one of life's greatest pleasures … and for the Singleton Moms families, it's especially important! A clean home reduces ailments, encourages a healthy lifestyle, and lifts a weight off a parent's shoulders, especially when they are feeling poorly from treatment or caring for a child with cancer. We believe that with a diagnosis of cancer priorities have a way of shifting, and having a clean house can often be the last thing on the list. That is where the Singleton Cleans Program comes into play. Having a clean house allows families more time to spend together instead of trying to stay on top of household chores.

Testimonials

"I am always in happy tears every time you guys make a delivery for me and the kids. It is always exactly what we needed for the month and exactly the things that I prayed for help with like toilet paper and paper towels and shampoo and laundry detergent but most especially the generosity of the gift of diapers for the baby. I have never been more grateful in my life. I'm crying happy tears now. Thank you Singleton Moms for once again being a miracle worker every single month. I don't know what I'd do without you. May God always bless you and the volunteers double what you have blessed me and my children. Thank you!"
