Homelessness on Mother's Day

DETROIT, MI, May 13, 2019 – With Mother’s Day passing, we want to celebrate all the mothers – including those who are homeless.

When we think about homelessness, we generally think about those who are not financially stable or face food insecurity. Unfortunately, we sometimes forget about rare cases, such as the feelings that homeless mothers may face on Mother’s Day.

Life is hard enough for women facing these circumstances. They have to deal with the pressure of providing for themselves and their families. They may struggle with maintaining things such as feminine products, safety, health care, and child care. This combination of daily hardships is a lot to take in, in itself. Even though times may be hard, these women continue to fight for survival the best they can. We honor every mother this Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day was Sunday, May 12, 2019. We honor every mother for all of their hard work and sacrifices. All mothers deserve to be celebrated, regardless of their circumstances. To every mother out there, the High program hopes that you had a wonderful Mother’s Day and recognizes you for your love and sacrifices.
