Single women with children experiencing poverty and homelessness are often burdened with obstacles and circumstances that make it hard to get on their feet.

According to finances online, the decline in two-married-parent households has led to the prevalence of single-mom and single-dad households.

It is estimated that there are 100 million single mothers all over the world and about 19 million children below the age of 18 living with a single parent.

According to the Women's Defense and Education Fund, single women are the head of 60% of households in poverty.

Christina Duncan, Executive Director at Milagro House and Stacie Blake, CEO of the YWCA Lancaster join us to discuss the factors that are keeping women in these circumstances, resolutions to get them out of those circumstances, and an upcoming Milagro House event that addresses these issues.
