How You Can Help Single Mom's Home Educate
I had a friend a little over a year ago
who shared that she'd so often wanted to do something to help me, but
didn't really know how to help. Do you know a single parent like
that? She bought us groceries and she has lent me
curriculum and even given me brand new curriculum. She has been a
blessing and an encouragement to me in my homeschooling efforts.
I've been amazed how I went from being the only single parent I knew
who home educated to attending a church where there was a small handful
of us who home educated, to entering the blogsphere and meeting single
moms around the world who home educate. All of this in just a
span of five short years.
As the numbers of single parents who
are home educating grow, so are the resources available to help meet
their unique needs. I recently learned about a program I am very
excited about. It's very small, but growing, and is an EXCELLENT
opportunity for others to help single parents home educate.
Home School Foundation has a program under their Compassion Fund
designed specifically to help single parents who are training their
children for the glory of the Lord to continue to home educate.
It's called the Single Parent Program.
Single parents who benefit from this program must have the
recommendation of their local or state homeschool group leader and
their pastor.
While the Lord continues to bless and grow my home schooling endeavors,
I was excited to learn about the program. At the same time, He
has blessed so abundantly, that I have not had to request help from
it. I'm grateful to know it is there, should my family ever have
a need. As my teen enters high school and prepares for a career
in nursing, I'm finding the curriculum we believe is the best to
prepare her for this calling, also seems to be more expensive than
anything we used in the younger grades. The Lord continues to
faithfully provide and meet our needs in this area. I'm certain
there are others who are not as fortunate.
Making a donation to this might very well make the difference
for a single parent family desireing to continue to home
educate. I hope you'll prayerfully consider this!
Blessings,
