Vision Forum Ministries - Defending the Fatherless
A list of excellent resources provided by
our moderator, Maggieraye
This
entry is currently undergoing edits. I've left a few of the best
resources up, while the editing process is occurring. Please check back
again soon!
For those who have previously visited, I'm revising it to include those
sites which I feel best minister to the needs of single parents who are
home educating.
Home Based Christian Single Parents - I did not discover this site, but
was discovered by Katie. I don't remember exactly how she found me, but
I think it was from a post I put on the forum at Single Parent Home
Educator several months ago. This site has some really good resources
and I was excited to see it. I'm looking forward to spending more time
there and getting to know Katie better.

Fears of a Single Mom by Lori Little
This article was amazing to me. In addition to feeling totally alone as
a single mother who was home educating, I have also felt totally alone
as I struggled with fear and panic over the years. This addresses all
of that in a way that glorifies the Lord beautifully. It is a MUST READ
for all single moms.

I've had the privilege and blessing of getting to know this dear lady

way to be a keeper at home and to home educate. She works as freelance
writer. This article was first published in Family Reformation
Magazine. It contains a wealth of information for those working with
and ministering to the needs of the single parent family.

Why Should I Homeschool? by Lisa Baker
This blog post was an excellent reminder to me of why it is important
that single mothers home educate and be keepers at home, in spite of
their difficult circumstances. This is a well written post, worth
reading.

Blessing the Sole Parent Homeschooler by Aussiemum
This is a great post chocked full of ideas, about being a blessing to a

The Homeschool Foundation
I'm not sure how to describe The Homeschool Foundation other than as an
excellent resource of encouragement to those who might otherwise choose
not to home educate for financial reasons. There are funds available
from the foundation to help support homeschooling families when all
other resources have been exhausted.
Members Helping Members has funds available to help families with
membership to HSLDA. The Compassion Fund has funds available to help
families with a number of different areas, including, but certainly not
limited to single parents who need help to continue to home educate. The
Widows Fund has funds available to help homeschooling families who've
lives have been tragically touched by the death of their husband/father.
The Special Needs part of The Homeschool Foundation offers assistance to
families who have one or more children with special needs, who have
chosen to home educate, in order to better meet the needs of the child
and their family.
