WHY DO WE EXIST?

According to the US Census Bureau, 1 out of 4 households, (23%),  are led by single mothers with children under the age of 18. In Kentucky, that average is slightly higher than the national average at 26%. Single mothers face many challenges that have far reaching implications that not only affect the individuals directly but have a profound impact on society as a whole.

​

ABOUT

Pure and unblemished religion [as it is expressed in outward acts] in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit and look after the fatherless and the widows in their distress.

VISION

Rewriting Stories envisions single parent families moving from surviving to thriving, reducing negative statistics, and building a community where every family can succeed.

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

WHY SHOULD YOU HELP?

The negative statistics affecting single-parent families don't just impact individual families, they have a profound impact on the fabric of the communities and the world YOU live in. By empowering single moms and raising up strong Godly single fathers, we are addressing the root causes of many societal challenges. With your support, we can reduce the negative statistics leading to healthier, more stable communities for everyone.

​

As believers and followers of Jesus, we are called to act on our faith. In the book of James, we are reminded of our responsibility to care for the fatherless and the widows. By extending our hands in support and compassion, we not only fulfill this biblical mandate but also embody the love and grace of Christ in our communities. Join us in making a difference in the lives of single parents and their children, fulfilling our calling to serve those in need. Together, we can create a brighter future for each individual family and our society as a whole.
