Single Moms in the Military
I know that I have written on this before but this is something that just hits close to home for me because this has been my life for the last two years. I have been a single mom in the military for two years and the anxiety of going to a new place and trying to find child care and group of people that understand what I am going through is like finding a needle in a haystack.
So many of us single mothers in the military need your support desperately we need child care and resources that so many married members and military spouses overlook. We are an underrepresented and unappreciated group of women. We love our country but we need are country and services to show us some of that love back.
I am standing up and saying we are here we aren't going any where and we need you. We need sitters that are willing to help on a moment's notice that can offer overnight care when we have duty. We need support at our units where we have some like us to talk to. The thing is we need this support everywhere in the states and overseas because us single military moms are serving all over the world.
I beg all of my reader to please take notice and pass this on to get those talks start to make people aware that we are here and we are asking for your help.
If you are interested in helping please contact me ( I have a lot of ideas I just need people to help) Also don't hesitate to share this with as many people as you can digg it, tweet about it, talk about it on facebook, help me get it out there.

Danielle,
Wow!!! This post is compelling. I am a single mother and it can definitely be challenging however, I never thought of single mothers in the military. I tweeted this post. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help spread the word.
Following you from MBC...Visit my blog when you get a moment, and share a comment or two.
Thank you for all that you do to serve our country.
Best,
Leigh

Hey Danielle,
I just wanted to tell you that I've loved reading your blog! I have an award for you over at www.ohsosavvymom.com
As a single mom, I feel for you. Although I work full-time, I am right down the street from my house and don't have the same worries that you do. I agree. We need a business or support group for Single Military Moms. It would be one of the better support groups around. Hats off to you and the sacrifices you have made for our wonderful country! My brother is currently in Iraq, but has a wife at home to care for their children. God bless you and all that you do. *hugs*
