“Every child deserves the tools to learn, not just the ones whose mothers aren't struggling.”
Dignity first
Applying should feel like reaching toward something, not begging for it. We read every application with care.
Resources, not strings
The grant goes directly toward academic materials. No conditions, no check-ins, no judgment about how you spend it.
One mother to another
This is personal. The founder reviews applications herself. You are not a file number.
Why I started this
I raised three children on my own, working double shifts and still coming home to help with homework at midnight. There were months I had to choose between school supplies and groceries, and I made that choice more times than I want to count. I know what it costs a child to watch their classmates have what they need while they make do.
“I watched each of them grow into people who believe in their own potential, and I know that the right resource at the right time made a real difference.”
What kept us going was education. Not because it solved everything overnight, but because it gave my kids something to hold onto: a direction, a reason to keep showing up.
This grant exists because I wish someone had done this for us. I am a mother who has been there, and I have $2,000 to put toward another child's future. If that child is yours, I hope you will apply.
With hope,
Gina Desir
If this is your family, please apply.
