Imagine a young mother, juggling two part-time jobs, raising her toddler, and trying to escape an abusive relationship. With limited income and nowhere to turn, this mother often has to make impossible choices—pay rent, buy food, or afford basic hygiene items. For weeks, she’s been relying on sparse supplies from shelters and donations, struggling to maintain her dignity. Without access to essential hygiene and feminine products, her confidence dwindles, her health suffers, and her sense of self-worth fades.
One day, a local shelter introduces the Mom to Project Circles of Support. Through their initiative, she receives hygiene kits tailored to her needs—shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, period products, even diapers for her child. These items meet critical needs that are often overlooked. However, Project Circles of Support offers more than just products; they also provide workshops on hygiene education, empowering individuals like Sara to take steps toward stability and self-care.
With newfound confidence and practical resources, this Mom begins to feel like herself again. Her child smiles more often, and she embraces the future with hope instead of fear. Gradually, she rebuilds her life, applying for better jobs and finding a safer home. Through Project Circles of Support, the Mother discovers that small acts of compassion can transform lives, breaking cycles of hardship and fostering resilience.
Now, imagine the thousands of Moms out there, waiting for someone to believe in them. Project Circles of Support exists to be that beacon of hope. By donating, volunteering, or spreading awareness, you can play a pivotal role in empowering individuals. In fact, this Mom could be you! Together, we can cultivate communities rooted in dignity, justice, and compassion—because everyone deserves access to essentials like hygiene products and menstrual products, regardless of their circumstances.
