Being a single mom is one of the single hardest jobs there is.  Having a great support system is so important.  Sometimes you need just a little bit more.  That's why last night we hosted a Slumber Party for our moms at Allure Suites in Ft. Myers.  The night was made complete with dinner, snacks and goodies, swimming and of course the hot tub.  And to complete the night of fun and relaxation, mini massages were provided by Craig Fischer from Therapeutic Massage of SWFL .

We're so excited for our founder and president, Kristen Schaufler, was selected as Broadway Palm's very first HERO OF THE WEEK! Here's what Kristen's friend, Janice, had to say about her: "Kristen is a true leader and hero in our community. She is always reaching out to the community to assist others. She runs A Mom's Helping Hand of SWFL, for single mothers and donates various things that single Moms cannot afford. She is doing a back to school drive to make sure kids going back to school will have all the supplies to start the school year off right. She is a Girl Scout Leader who devotes countless hours to her troop and to give back to the community. She herself is a single parent of 4 children. She does an annual Adopt a Military Family over Christmas in which troops that want to participate get a Military family and a Wish List to make their Christmas a memorable one." Kristen received four tickets to Footloose (including dinner), a shout out from the stage, a meet and greet with the cast and four souvenir glasses.
