TESTIMONIALS / FEEDBACK
Single Mommies Matter is a wonderful organization. I heard about this organization from a coworker about 5 years ago but I did not attend my first Single Mommies Matter Luncheon until 3 years ago. I was in complete amazement at the lengths Ms. Sha had gone to to ensure that single mothers knew they were not forgotten. As a single mother it gets hard and stressful at times because there is such a negative stigma that is usually attached or portrayed upon single mothers. After leaving my first luncheon I felt so empowered, loved, and like for once someone understood what it means to be a single mother. I had gained some valuable insight into resources that are available right here in our very own community. I also gained some very good friends who have been consistent motivators, inspirations and a shoulder to lean on when I need it.
Thank you Single Mommies Matter for loving on a group of women who sometimes get lost in the shuffle of juggling daily life, children, jobs, school and whatever else may come our way.

It was a great experience for me here at the SINGLE MOMMIES MATTERS LUNCHEON YESTERDAY ON 3-25-2023. That was my first time ever going and I would love to continue going to them all. It was very heart touching, very knowledgeable, and it taught me things to continue being a great mother for my sons. Everyone who hosted it treated us very special and made me feel loved. I truly want to thank the ladies who took the time to seek me out in the community to bring mothers together as a whole because we do matter. Thank you so much Sha Jackson for inviting me to the beautiful, amazing event. I was truly blessed cause I felt the love In the air, and I was taught so many new things that I would love to share with others. It makes me want to get out more and help mothers that are alone…. Please keep me and my sons in you all’s prayers please. I love y'all and thank you!

** LONG POST ALERT** I just want to shout out a Phenomenal woman, Sha Jackson Thank you for listening to God and stepping out on faith to start Single Mommies Matter many years ago and still continuing to do so. I was blessed in more ways than one this past Saturday. To think that I almost let the storm stop me from coming...but God I never intended on completely breaking down either, whew! But that was God telling me to just let go and release. I'm so thankful for Mrs. Poindexter as well for sharing her story too. It was almost like listening to someone read my autobiography. So much resonated with me and made me realize how much pain and hurt I had been holding on too for all these years. And having a still born not once, but twice is a pain that you never really heal from. I think we as women/mother's hold on to so much and fight many battles that we keep to ourselves but whole time, we all struggle and fight similar battles and it was nice to be surrounded by such amazing women that I not only related too but made me realize that I'm not in this fight alone. Thank you to the woman who prayed for me in the bathroom and also thank you to the beautiful soul who took my phone and left me the message below I needed all that which I received and I thank you all more than you'll ever know! It was so nice to be celebrated in spite of everything I have going on because I now can hold my head up a little higher and smile a little bigger!

“I grew up in an addictive environment with my dad being a chronic alcoholic who eventually was unable to work. He beat my mom on several occasions until I threatened him. They divorced soon after. Us boys had paper routes to help my mom buy the necessities for the house. My mom sacrificed so much for us, and I will always be grateful. I have a soft spot in my heart for Single moms because I witnessed firsthand her do whatever it takes attitude. My dad gave his life to the lord and has 13 years of sobriety.
So enjoy your day today! I love you and have the utmost respect for every one of you!
Never give up, because there’s always hope-ALWAYS!!”
