Everyone knows a WellMOM. She struggles on a daily basis under a tremendous amount of stress. Devoted to her children, she strives to make ends meet and provide all she can for her family but sadly  cannot afford health insurance and does not qualify for state assistance.

Single mothers and their children are among the poorest and most severely distressed in our nation.
The growth of single-parent  families and the reality of their low income status is well known.
There are now over 22 million children living in single parent households in the United States. Over one third of these children are below the poverty line.

This economic condition has been linked to several factors: the relatively low level of education of many of these women, the lower earnings of women compared to men, and the need of single parents to arrange for child care. Another significant factor may in fact be poor health according to the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). 

Single mothers face the pressures of raising a child or children alone; they live on the earnings of one person combined with any transfers for which they are eligible; many have relatively low levels of education compared to the general population(adjusting for age). All of these lifestyle factors indicate that they are likely to have a greater probability of developing health problems than other persons of similar age

For many of these women employment does not  offer adequate health insurance coverage for themselves or their children. 

Those single mothers who have a disabled or a special needs child, whom often require increased or considerable medical care needs and expenditures, are at an additional disadvantage.

We aim to help single mothers and their children get healthy and stay healthy by providing free health care and a much needed spiritual support network. 

WellMOM connects these single moms  with other mothers who are also facing the challenges of single parenting in a faith based, Christ centered community. These mothers, many dealing with abuse, poverty and despair, often feel marginalized. Having someone they can  relate to takes a lot of the frustration and loneliness away and gives these women hope and a sense of belonging. Our services improve the ability of these families to care for their children and achieve goals of self-sufficiency.

.
To qualify for services, you must be a single, mother/parent who does not qualify for state health assistance and must meet federally defined income levels.
