Our Causes

I have an extremely good friend who teases me about being a sucker for what she describes as "tragic, human-rights-atrocity" causes such as chronic hunger and homelessness.  While I am all for bugging people about those issues in other places, I want to stick to things related to the loss of mothers on this blog.

Some issues are the causes of becoming motherless and I want to highlight the need to support those causes as well as the effect of the loss.  If you have an issue or cause that led to you or someone you know becoming motherless, please let us know.  I plan on making a list of these including links to websites advocating these issues in the sidebar.  For now, look into the issues below which are the reasons that me and some of my friends are motherless children.

National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Young Survival Coalition (breast cancer)
Mental Health America
Susan G. Komen (breast cancer)
Ovarian Cancer National Alliance
National Domestic Violence Hotline
American Heart Association (heart attacks, strokes, etc.)
Joyful Heart Foundation (domestic violence)
UNAIDS
United Nations Refugee Agency

Click to Empower (domestic violence)
