END THE YEAR WITH AN IMPACT
Your Gift Today Helps Student-Moms Tomorrow
Between late night bottle feedings and study sessions, our Student-Moms have turned long nights and hard work into milestones. They balance it all, but you help make it possible!
As we close out the year, your generosity can help another Student-Mom write her own story of success. Your support ensures she has the resources like housing, childcare, and academic support she needs to graduate.
Why Your Gift Matters
1 in 5 college students is parenting.
61% of college students facing an unplanned pregnancy drop out.
Student-Moms who graduate earn over $1.2 million more in their lifetime than those who don’t complete their degree.
With your support, they can graduate.
“Had I not seen that flyer and taken that phone number, I probably would have dropped out and walked away because she needed me more to be a mother than a student.”
— Tyneshia, Baby Steps Graduate
