Helping women rise to their full potential by
offering quality care for their children while they attend Rising Women
approved meetings. These meetings improve a woman’s mental, emotional, and
physical health by allowing them to be able to attend without children.
We will give single mothers free
childcare while they attend:
- Doctor Appointment
- Court appointment
- Lawyer visit
- Job interview
- Counseling Session
- Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting
- Jail Visitations
Giving all low-income
single moms access to private sessions free of child distractions.
Our Story
Women
of all socio-economic backgrounds deserve to attend sensitive, private meetings
without their children. Kari is a loving, single mother who battles with
alcohol addiction. Kari wants to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, without
her children, so she can be vulnerable and share her deep struggles. Kari
deserves the right to attend therapy, without her children, to talk about her
alcoholism and the abuse she endured with her children’s father, without her
children present. Without access to private sessions, Kari doesn’t attend
meetings and doesn’t go to counseling due to fear, embarrassment, and a need
for privacy, which puts her children and her life at risk.
How to Get Involved
