Grants For Single Mothers Offers Help To Women Raising Families On Their Own Says Umcssa.org

Online, June 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - As every woman will attest to, being a single mother is no easy job. Making ends meet, for instance, is a daunting responsibility that a single mother faces every day. Without a partner to raise a child or children, coupled with job circumstances that may not be favorable, covering everyday expenditures, medical expenses, and the cost of education may be too heavy on the pocket.
