OUR MISSION
To equip struggling, working single moms with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to achieve a sustainable, stable quality of life that minimizes the constant threat of housing insecurity (eviction, extended stay hotels, homeless shelters), food insecurity, and the trauma associated with trying to create a life out of scarcity. We do this via financial literacy, career development, life coaching, and spiritual enrichment.
MySuite19 is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization
SPIRITUAL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
MySuite19's Spiritual Enrichment Program is dedicated to supporting single mothers through the power of prayer and shared experiences. We provide a safe space where single moms can connect, find encouragement, and experience the transformative love of God alongside others who understand their journey.
Our prayer line has become a vital source of hope, connection, and spiritual support for single mothers across the country. Time and again, we have witnessed the profound impact of faith, fellowship, and prayer in helping these women navigate the challenges of single parenthood
Regardless of financial status or life circumstances, MySuite19’s Spiritual Enrichment Program welcomes all single mothers—from those facing financial hardship to those thriving in their careers—offering a place of emotional and spiritual renewal. Parenting alone can be overwhelming, but no mother should have to walk this journey by herself.
The number 19 in MySuite19 represents Philippians 4:19
"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:19) NKJ

FOOD AND NUTRITION PROGRAM
Rising costs and inflation have left many families vulnerable to food insecurity, with single-parent households facing even greater challenges in providing consistent, nutritious meals. The increasing burden of rent and living expenses makes it difficult for many working single mothers to maintain a healthy diet for themselves and their children.
At MySuite19, we are committed to bridging this gap by providing essential resources, grocery assistance, and education on healthy eating, meal planning, preparation, and budgeting. Our mission is to empower working single mothers with the tools and support they need to ensure their families have access to nutritious meals, reducing the ongoing threat of food insecurity and promoting long-term stability.
INDIVIDUAL EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
In the United States, over 6 million households are led by single mothers. Amid rising rent costs and inflation-driven increases in grocery prices, nearly 30% of single mothers face ongoing food insecurity, while 60% of homeless families are headed by single mothers. For many, a single unexpected expense can mean the difference between stability and crisis, forcing families into shelters, extended-stay hotels, or, in the most desperate cases, their vehicles. The cycle of financial hardship creates lasting trauma, not only impacting the mental health and well-being of single mothers but also shaping the futures of their children.
Our Individual Empowerment Program is dedicated to equipping single mothers with the tools, education, and resources they need to build a sustainable and stable quality of life that reduces the risks of
housing and food insecurity.
Through holistic support, personalized resources, and transformative programs, we provide the guidance necessary to help each mother achieve long-term success. Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment of each mother's unique needs and goals. Based on this data, we develop a personalized empowerment plan that
fosters stability and resilience.
Addressing this crisis requires targeted solutions that provide stability, economic empowerment, and dedicated support. By investing in single mothers, we strengthen families, uplift communities, and break the cycle of financial hardship for future generations.
