About Rising Women

Mission Statement
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
 Vision Statement
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
Rising Women offers safe, reliable, and affordable childcare for approved essential meetings. Rising Women can drop off their children at our facility and attend their essential meetings child-free. In order to serve Kari and the millions of other low-income single mothers and their children we need volunteers to:
·         Donate Healthy Snacks
·         Donate Diapers and Wipes
·         Help With Office Work
·         Help with Childcare
·         Donate toys and project materials
