Back in 2005 we lost a wonderful friend, Michelle Singleton, to cancer. Michelle was a single mom of 4; her children were aged 1, 5, 6, and 14 at the time of her diagnosis. She was just 32 years old when she passed away and she became our inspiration.

Through our personal experiences with Michelle, we discovered that while there are many groups, charities and organizations battling and researching cancer, there are very few aid based organizations that are actively helping those suffering today.

We were moved to take on the challenge and created a one-of-a-kind charitable organization to help single mothers with cancer. In November 2006 Singleton Moms became a 501c(3) non-profit organization. Since then the vast majority of parents we’ve helped have been single mothers. We do help single dads too, but there seem to be many more moms in need of services like ours.

When a patient is diagnosed and undergoes chemotherapy/radiation or surgery, they often can’t continue to work, creating incredible financial hardship. This is especially true for single parents with limited means of outside support. With their energy depleted, even simple chores like cleaning their home or making dinner for their children are too strenuous and can become overwhelming.

If we can offer single parents battling cancer some respite from chores and bills, relieve a little emotional and financial stress, and give them more time to recover and enjoy their children, then we will have been successful.

When we started Singleton Moms in 2006 we looked to friends and family for support. Since that time the organization has grown; we branched out into the community and found several talented professionals willing to lend their skills, commit their time and dedicate their expertise. As we look to the future, our long term goal is to be in a position where we never have a waiting list, where we can expand our services statewide, and eventually nationwide. At some point in the future, we would like to create a Singleton Moms house; a place where our parents and their families can go to recover. From where we started, to where we are now, we know anything is possible.

Our Mission

Singleton Moms is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing hope, help and support to struggling single parents battling cancer. Our unique programs offer the emotional, financial and domestic support that these courageous moms and dads need while undergoing treatment.

Our Vision

Our vision is for every Singleton Parent to experience dedicated and effective support through their cancer treatment. We are building an inspiring organization that makes a positive impact on the lives of the single parents we help. No matter how much we expand, we will make every effort to exceed the expectations of the moms and dads in need of our programs.

Our volunteers and staff will strive to reach new milestones by recognizing the needs of the parents we serve, and evolve our programs to better assist in their recovery. We will keep our personal touch because that is what makes Singleton Moms special. We are determined to remain an organization to be proud of; an organization that every community is excited to work with. We want to change lives for the better.
