- Single Mothers Are The Face of American Poverty-Low-income single mothers work hard to earn a living, but still live paycheck to paycheck. Single mothers face greater economic hardships. Without economic security, education, and access to resources, single mothers cannot achieve their full potential.
- Single Mothers Cannot Afford Childcare-Nationally the annual cost of center-based infant care averaged over 40% of the state median income for a single mother and 32% for a school-age child, all the while single mothers' income decreased in recent years.
- Single Mothers Cannot Afford Suitable Housing- To afford a two-bedroom apartment in Memphis requires an income of $45,080 or higher. Limited access to affordable housing and their decreasing wages puts single moms at increased risk of financial insecurity.
- Single Mothers Are Responsible For Young Lives-Our work adopts a two-generational model. As we lift up single mothers, we lift up their children. Greater resources and access to education for those we serve means better resources and educational opportunities for their children.
- Single Mothers Need YOU-Empower single mothers today with your gift to IAMSK. Our donors positively change the lives of those we serve. Your gift, big or small, will have a lasting impact for single mothers in Memphis.
