Lindsay Blanche started grantsforsinglemothers.org because she wanted to share information she's acquired the past 13 years. This single mom from Central Texas says it shouldn't be hard to find help when you need it, so she offers resources for financial aid, scholarships, food and housing programs, and parenting advice.

Want to read more about single parenting? Check out Single Mom Seeking, a column written in 2006 by Rachel Sarah, one of Literary Mama's founding editors. You can read more about her and her book at her website.
