A terminal diagnosis is devastating to anyone, but for a single mother, it’s overwhelming. Imagine: you’re already saddled with many responsibilities, and now you realize you are going to die before your child finishes school. Thoughts flash through your mind: What will happen to them? Will they have academic success? Will they remember me? Will they go to college.

From Mom With Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing college assistance and educational experiences to underserved children of terminally ill single mothers.
