A Mom's Helping Hand of SWFL depends on support from the community, especially in the form of donations. As the end of the year closes in, time is running out on tax deductible donations. About 35% of American's take advantage of the sizable benefits the IRS offers to tax payers who give to Exempt Charitable Organizations. These tax incentives are significant, amounting to as much as 50% of your adjusted gross income. For many tax payers, it’s by leveraging these tax benefits that they can give more generously to charities. It makes them feel good and with their larger gift, it enables the charities they support to do more. Now, that’s a good thing. At A Mom's Helping Hand of SWFL, the needs for support continue to increase. Please consider keeping us in mind as you make your end-of-year donation. Given that the vast majority of Americans claim to give to charities but just less than 35% of tax payers claim their charitable donations on their tax return, you may want to make sure they know the benefits! Simply enter the amount you'd like to give and your federal tax bracket (see chart). The calculator will display the net cost of the donation and the tax savings. You may be surprised to learn that you can afford to be even more generous than you thought. To easily calculate the tax savings for a donation of any amount, use the Charity Navigator Calculator found here. Monthly Donation A Mom's Helping Hand of SWFL depends on support from the community, especially in the form of donations. Monthly donations begin at a minimum of $5/month. It is your choice, as a donor, to determine whether you’d like your donation to go towards a specific program or the overall organization. Your monthly donations will provide our mothers with the programs, services, and funds they need to be successful. Our mothers will have a chance to get training, tolietries, clothing, emergency financial support, school supplies for their children, and birthday party supplies for their children. Your help can give a mother a second chance, a new lease on life. To become a monthly donor, please click here to access our donation page. Click to Donate Donate Office Space As a charity organization, there are some items we need but costs are high. With donated office space, we will be able to stretch our funding much farther to assist single mothers in need of our help.

It was an amazing year. We adopted 37 families and made sure 82 kids had something under their tree. For many of these families it means their children woke up to a Christmas they otherwise may not have had. Here's a small look at what our families had to say: Thank you to your organization for making this happen! Also, thank you to whomever adopted my family! You made a big difference and I am so grateful for your generosity. My daughter had a wonderful, wonderful Christmas because of you! I know many other single parent families were blessed and for those of us who struggle to get through each month, the help providing a little extra for our children goes such a long way! So thank you to everyone who adopted families for Christmas and also to everyone who donates all year! Merry Christmas! - Lesley

While everyone around me was getting ready for the holidays, and getting in the spirt, I was dreading it , I wanted to cancel Christmas if I could but I have 2 children so that's something I can't do. But struggeling everyday was making it so hard to give my kids a Christmas, everyday is hard enough being a s...ingle mom. But then I met you and you have helped me so much with everyday things people take for granted from laundry soap, body soap toilet paper , tooth past anything we need for the mth is such a blessing and takes so much stress off. Then today I picked up my gifts and you and everyone that donated made my dreams come true and I know my kids also when they get to open it . It's not just about the gifts it about knowing someone cares and is there for you and thinking of you and your kids.
