Tammy’s Hope is a ministry that hopes to serve, help and protect the single mother’s within our community.

Ten years ago (most recent statistics available) there were 12.8 million single mothers in the U.S.  The average single mothers earns only a fourth of what the typical family earns (1). Over 78% of single mothers are employed, while more than 45% of single mothers have more than one job ()2.  In 49 states the average annual cost of childcare exceeds the cost of college tuition (3).  That means it’s more expensive for a single mother to send her child to daycare than to send her child to college.  How can a single mother get ahead with those odds? And to top it off, fewer than 17% of single moms receive any type of assistance from any organization (4).

My mother worked her entire life to provide for and protect me, and she did it alone.  The reality and the circumstances of life are not something we can combat directly, but we can do something about the odds. 

Throughout history, mother’s have stood, children behind them, in front of tanks, armies, a failing economy, abusive fathers and despair itself, and we will make sure they never stand alone again! Never again will a single mother stand alone financially, emotionally, spiritually or socially. 
We will work to provide our single mothers with things like day-care grants, social support, biblical counseling, networking opportunities, etc…Tammy’s Hope will also work to build a network of men to do general husbandry (plumbing, electrical, yard work, mechanic work, etc…) so that our women feel safe and secure when the maintenance of life is needed.  Our hope is that whenever an attack befalls one of our single mothers, whether direct or circumstantial, we will be quick to respond and ferocious in our defense.
