I had to take on both roles as a mother and father

“SPIN really values us as single parents and constantly reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves also.”

I am a single parent to two sons, and the guardian of my young nephew. Due to strained familial relations, I had to take on both roles as a mother and father without the support of my family, and I constantly faced challenges.

After discovering HCSA SPIN on Facebook, I wanted to know more about the types of services and help offered to single parents. I immediately reached out to enquire about membership and was quickly attended to by Jeanne, HCSA SPIN’s social worker. I have been an active member and attendee of various events and workshops since joining HCSA SPIN. In a way, these programmes help me de-stress since volunteers assist in taking care of the boys while I learn.

I am grateful for the support and encouragement from the HCSA SPIN team – particularly my befriender Rasi and Jeanne – for helping me to stay strong and positive for my children. SPIN really values us single parents and constantly reminds us that we must take care of ourselves as well.
