Eleanor Stason is a single mom with too young boys. Between their school hours and soccer practice, Eleanor also works a 12-hour shift at the local supermarket and a second part-time job during the weekends. She was lucky to have a close friend that would look after the boys whenever it was possible. But gaining big amounts in debt was inevitable to Eleanor. She had 5 maxed-out credit cards and bills that were over £8000. During these desperate times, her close friend had a talk with her and explained she needed help and how she could get it.
Eleanor decided to consult a financial advisor and find a solution – she applied for a consolidation loans program, cut up all her credit cards except for one, and got a repayment plan. After almost 2 years, Eleanor paid her last bill with a big smile on her face and became a free woman.
Eleanor was kind enough to share her story with us, thinking it will encourage more people who have huge debts take the consolidation loans solution into account and put an end to their worries.
People with high incomes and big families also have debt problems but it’s somehow easier for them to manage. But when you are a single mom with two young children, things radically change. This kind of people with low income spend more money than they receive and are more likely to encounter credit card debt, untold fees and rising rates of interest.

Henry,
Are you still looking to help single mom's? I am a single mom with 2 kids in San Diego and last year my car was totaled and I used the insurance money to purchase a 1996 Plymouth Voyager. The mini van runs, but it did not pass smog because it is smoking from the tail pipe and leaks oil and the check engine light is on. Recently it seems to idle rough and a few times the engine turned off while driving, I'm afraid it will breakdown any day now and I won't be able to get to work. I don't know where to turn for help or who to trust and I can't afford a huge repair bill.

I checked with the organization holding this event. Unfortunately they were not aware of any other organization that is similar for only Single Fathers. They did let me know though that while the scholarships and free lunches will only be for the single mom's at this event, everyone is welcome to attend. So single fathers can take their children and enjoy the activities. Or anyone – single parents, families, those without kids – can do the 5K walk/run in support of single mom college students. But, if you find any good resources for single dads, feel free to share!

[...] If you’re a single mom and have a dream to get a college degree but don’t have enough money to pay for the tuition free then a scholarships for single moms are a great way to aid a mother with children through college and get your degree. We’re all know that it’s very hard for a single mom to pay for college while taking care of her family and to do so will often require some extra money, and the good news is that such aid exists in the form of grants and scholarships for single moms.

It does absolutely explain why I take offense. I SAY again, I defend ALL good women who do not deserve to be lumped in with Calvary's statements about black women. Again, there are a lot of women who love their thugs, Black & White. I do not defend them. I'm saying that a line needs to be drawn when such rhetoric is used in this context. Look at you…talking about beating a woman. SIMPLE isn't even the word to describe your obsession with the mangina!

I want that box set. I watched them all as they aired and then re-runs…but it's been sooo long. What an amazing show. You'll have to hang on to that so A can watch them when she gets older.

My sister-in-law has chosen to be child free. She and her husband are very busy and she loves their life. She feels it wouldn't be fair to children if they had them.About the adoption as a single mom. I am not sure what religion she is, but at my church back home there was a woman who chose to adopt 2 children as a single mom. She is/was very supported. Being a single mom presents it's own challenges, but if she is prepared and has a good support system, she should go for it.
