QuestingHound Supports Every Mother’s Advocate: Empowering Families and Building Futures
QuestingHound is thrilled to support Every Mother’s Advocate (ĒMA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing family separation by advocating for mothers in crisis. Roughly 75% of children who enter foster care each year are removed from their homes due to preventable causes, often linked to poverty. To combat this, ĒMA utilizes a three-pronged approach that connects mothers facing hardships to vital support, helps them to build community, and facilitates key learning of healthy parenting practices. ĒMA has created meaningful change for over 6,500 mothers and children facing hardships and in so doing, preserved 95% of the families it served.
Supporting Financial Stability
For mothers in crisis, financial security can be daunting yet essential. ĒMA’s approach includes offering financial management classes to help mothers gain control over their finances, fostering long-term stability for themselves and their families. For many, this includes opening their first bank accounts, taking a major step toward independence and financial security.
A Journey of Resilience: Leilah’s Story
One of ĒMA’s powerful success stories is that of Leilah, a single mother working toward a nursing degree. Despite the challenges of balancing education, motherhood, and financial constraints, Leilah remains determined. Her motivation? Building a brighter future for herself and her son. “I want to create a life where we don’t struggle every day,” Leilah shares. “This journey is tough, but I know it will be worth it.”
Leilah’s story represents the strength, resilience, and courage ĒMA helps to foster in every mother. With support from ĒMA, she has access to invaluable resources—budgeting classes, career readiness programs, and a supportive community—all of which help her stay focused on her goals.
Preparing for Success: Career Readiness
Beyond financial stability, ĒMA equips mothers with skills to thrive in the workforce. This past year, ĒMA Broward held a “Dress for Success” class, where mothers learned about professional attire and career readiness. This practical support gives mothers the tools to feel confident in interviews and their professional lives.
By the Numbers: A Year of Impact
The work of Every Mother’s Advocate speaks volumes:
– 95% of families in the program have remained intact
– 559 mothers served, receiving critical advocacy and resources
– 128 advocates actively helping mothers achieve their goals
ĒMA’s commitment to preserving families and building futures for children is evident in every statistic and every success story.
