Single Parent Advocate organization is so amazing. They, especially Stacie Martin has done so many things for so many single parents we are in such debt to her. I am very thankful they allow me into this organization as I am a single grandparent raising 3 kids. I absolutely appreciate it when someone remembers us and includes us because so many don’t.
Thank you Stacie Martin for being one of Gods servants on earth.

SPA has been there for me and my 3 kiddos for several years. They have provided physical items such as clothes, bikes, Thanksgiving meals, and Christmas presents. More importantly, SPA has provides emotional and spiritual support.
SPA has supported me in my journey as a single parent after transitioning to Texas from Maryland. The resources and community have been great. I’ve made life long friendships and I believe my kids have too!
This intentional non profit truly meets the community needs when it affects single parents and their children.
I met the Executive Director Stacie Poythress when I relocated to Texas 3 years ago. She welcomed me so warmly and introduced me to her organization without ever asking for anything in return. After seeing all that she does for our community and how the community is so loving and emotionally appreciative of her support, I without any hesitation volunteered to help. From then on I have volunteered for many events to support this amazing organization. They are an amazing organization and serve our community so selfishly. As a former single parent raised by a single parent who struggled raising us, I am very passionate about all that this organization does for our community.
It is so rewarding to serve families via Single Parent Advocate! We get to serve the parents with Mother's and Father's Day outings/meals, education of financial literacy, self-improvement, and overcoming barriers; We get to serve the parents and children during Thanksgiving and Christmas with parties, gifts and food. In the fall we get to bless the new school year by supplying backpacks, school supplies, and clothes for the kiddos and even college scholarships for the parents. Single Parent Advocate is going into the communities and helping those who need it most. I am honored to be able to be a part of the team!!
I have been volunteering for SPA for 7 or 8 years now. The 1st time I volunteered I hand delivered boxes of food around Dallas to single parents for Thanksgiving. SPA has come a long way in their 11 years. They provide yearly assistance in the forms of social gatherings (Mother's Day/Father's Day/Single Parent Day), food distributions (Thanksgiving/Christmas), holiday parties, educational assistance (college grants/computers), and so many other ways.
I love this group. The work they do to help single parents is unparalleled! I just wish I had found them sooner!
Single Parent Advocate has been a huge blessing to my program I work in Community Outreach for The Family Place. They sponsored my program and went well beyond what I could have ever hoped. For Mother’s Day, they charted a bus (because very few of my clients have vehicles) and took the single moms and their children to a Mother’s Day celebration where they were feed and given many gifts. They also have provided Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets and donated toys Christmas 2012. I cannot say how much their support has meant to the families I serve. What a WONDERFUL organization!
Single Parent Advocate (SPA) has helped the Dallas/Ft. Worth community in so many ways. They have helped with Back to School and giving Turkey Dinner giveaways. SPA has also uplifted and honored those single parents on Mother and Father's day. Those are local things but what about nationally you say? Well SPA provide links to healthcare, support and other organizations that others can turn to in their community to help assist them.
All in All... SPA answers the questions when you don't know where to turn to get help in your situation.
For that I thank you as a general member and volunteer
This is an amazing gift from God. As a single mom of 2 boys with no child support , this foundation provided a wealth of knowledge to get me through the hard times. There are events, and ways to make friends. They help so many and do it with eagerness. I wish more people knew about the founders cause for Single Parent Advocate. They move mountains already, they could do even more support.I love helping this group simply because I love where their heart is. Love you SPA!!!!!
