Single Parent in Need Foundation
The mission of the single parent in need (SPIN) foundation is to provide crisis relief funding to single-parent families living predominantly in the united states. SPIN will act as a financial cushion by providing monetary assistance, or gap funding, as needed, for everyday life expenses that encompass healthcare, housing, and education, transportation, as well as other fundamental basic human needs such as financial assistance for food and clothing. SPIN will work closely with churches, youth groups and community based outreach organizations to establish where the urgency for funds is most needed. In today's tough economic climate, SPIN will help those who are in a desperate, and sometimes unexpected place in their lives. When the world feels like it's spinning out of control, we're here to let single parents know they're not alone.
