WE DID IT! Saturday, we raised enough funds to launch THREE new scholarships for Single Mothers at @kansascitykscc!! With the support of people from all over the United States (and England) - we crushed our goal! 📈 The best giving is when people give to someone they don’t know. Our hearts are full this morning, grassroots movement can change lives! And we’re still just getting started!

THIS IS OUR WHY🧡 One of The Judy Nelson Foundation’s sole purposes is to instill a sense of confidence and worthiness in all single mothers. We’ve successfully granted 4 total scholarships and have 2 active single mothers at @kansascitykscc ; majoring in nursing and respiratory therapy. With the right financial resources, single mothers can achieve their educational goals one class at a time🧡

This day would not be possible without our amazing donors! Thank you to all who are helping support @judynelsonfoundation ! Visit our website or DM us for more information to donate, sponsor and join us on August 10 for our 2nd JNF fundraiser!

With every ticket purchased to the event, you’ll receive 10 tickets to enter our basket raffle (regular registration receives 5 tickets).

As we inch closer and closer to our 2nd Annual Fundraiser, we wanted to introduce our most recent recipient of the JNF Scholarship, Kirstin! Kirstin is currently pursuing a nursing degree at @kansascitykscc. With the donations and support from our last fundraiser, we were able to offer Kirstin the necessary scholarship from KCKCC to pursue her educational goals. We are extremely grateful to be able to support Kirstin on her educational journey and look forward to our Fundraiser in June to help another single mother with similar goals.

What an incredible evening it was, bringing together over 60+ community members, cherished family, and friends who all rallied behind our cause. Thanks to your unwavering support, we managed to raise over $5000, marking a significant milestone that will have a lasting impact. This remarkable achievement wouldn't have been possible without the heartwarming contributions of our 10 esteemed sponsors. A huge shoutout to B&B Theatres, Historic City Market Kansas City, Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers, Hen house, Hereford House, Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue, Maggiano's, Price Chopper, Rieger's, and Wonder Scope Children's Museum.

Tuesday, 11/29 is #GivingTuesday. Please consider donating to the Judy Nelson Foundation to help support single mothers🧡 #GivingTuesday #nonprofit #singlemothers #givingback #donations #education #judynelsonfoundation

Inflation is everywhere in the US and the skyrocketing costs of housing and childcare are particularly concerning for single mothers. Childcare can consume 30% of a woman's salary in Kansas. Childcare costs in Kansas are among the highest in the nation and single mothers have to choose between working or providing themselves an education.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ JNF would like the thank the @singlemothersguide. They are an online platform providing education loan and grant information. We would also like to thank KMBC news for covering the high child care costs in Kansas!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #scholarships #singlemoms #JNF #amazonsmile #donate #singlemother #education #womenempowerment #nonproft #givingback #singlemothereducation #singlemotherawareness #empowerment #educationmatters #judynelsonfoundation #kcnonprofit #kcstrong

Many people do not know how many children are impacted by a one parent support household. With single mothers at the heart of the JNF, it is more shocking to hear that of the 24 million, 15 million of those children are in households of mothers only.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ JNF would like the thank the @Annie E. Casey Foundation for this statistic. They are an organization committed to building a brighter future for America’s children, youth, and families.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ https://www.aecf.org/contact​​​​​​​​ #scholarships #singlemoms #JNF #amazonsmile #donate #singlemother #education #womenempowerment #nonproft #givingback #singlemothereducation #singlemotherawareness #empowerment #educationmatters #judynelsonfoundation #kcnonprofit #kcstrong

This October, the Judy Nelson Foundation would like to shed light on the frightening statistics around the women and children of single-family homes. Our mission is to provide single mothers the opportunity to further their education, without financial or practical barriers. However, we also believe another key pillar is educating the facts of not only those impacted but also the barriers that are struggled with every day, preventing mothers from achieving their educational goals. Please join us this October in reflecting and re-sharing these scary statistics.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #scholarships #singlemoms #JNF #amazonsmile #donate #singlemother #education #womenempowerment #nonproft #givingback #singlemothereducation #singlemotherawareness #empowerment #educationmatters #judynelsonfoundation #kcnonprofit #kcstrong
