I will walk with The Single Mom KC because if it wasn’t for them, I would still have a victim mindset. They showed me how strong I actually am, and I owe them much more than just walking with them.

It is important for me to do this walk to show my support for this organization. I feel this event is an excellent way to introduce more people in the community to the work The Single Mom KC does and to help ensure every single mom is aware of the services and support we can provide.

I walk with The Single Mom KC to help make sure single moms have what they need to raise healthy, safe, and faith-filled children. Jesus loves the little children, and Jesus loves every mom who takes care of them.

I walk because I now know I don’t walk alone — that I am seen for who I am because of whose I am. The truth is, I am loved, lovable, and have purpose. I now walk beside others to tell them this truth as well.

I’m inspired by my widowed grandmother who raised six children alone and left a beautiful legacy; heartbroken over societal issues like poverty, loneliness, and addiction that disproportionally plague single mom families; and motivated to walk because of my faith in Jesus and my love for others.

I walk for The Single Mom KC to make sure that no single mom EVER has to walk through life alone again. I watched my mother struggle for decades — trying to be both parents, the breadwinner, the driver, the counselor; never having enough or feeling enough. The Single Mom KC is the first organization I’ve been around that focuses on the mother, providing day-to-day support that allows her to grow in faith and community to effectively develop her family.

As a single mom, I understand the daily challenges of juggling a professional career, raising a child alone, and managing a household on one income. I walk for single moms to bring awareness to these challenges and be an inspiration.
