This Mother's Day, let's come together to show our love and support for the incredible single mothers. Many mothers are carrying more than we can see, and a small gesture of care can make a world of difference. We are creating a special Wellness Basket to lift their spirits, offering a moment of peace and self-care. Your donation, no matter the size, will help fill baskets with nurturing essentials, thoughtful gifts, and a reminder that they are seen, appreciated, and loved. Together, we can bring a little extra comfort and joy to those who give so much. Thank you for helping us spread kindness and wellness this Mother’s Day. The baskets will be presented to single Mothers in collaboration with the Mothers Advocacy Project (MAP) https://mapfamily.org/

Mike Williams, Founder, Brownmine & Author of the Leadership Advantage, will be our guest speaker.
