Listen to stories from moms that have been impacted by REAL.
“REAL restored my faith gave me a place for me to connect and serve my sisters and even a place to be served when I was in need. These women have cried with me and celebrated with me. There were really dark times for me as a single mom but I always felt loved and understood among this community from the moms to the leadership. I’m thankful for each woman and each connection.”
“The foundation on my home was collapsing. It was beginning to cause major cracking and shifting of my home. I reached out to REAL to ask for prayers and guidance throughout the process. There were a number of donors, volunteers, and fellow single moms that donated items to raise funds at a garage sale. REAL also gave a portion of the cost to repair the foundation. If it weren't for REAL I would not have been able to repair my home. My children and I are extremely thankful for REAL Ministries and all they've done for us!”
“From the boxes of food brought to my home to the check in my mailbox to make my house payment to the calls received my children and I have been blessed by REAL in more ways than I can count. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
“It was so much fun! My kids enjoyed everyone today and so did I. We’re so blessed to have found this organization. Thank you so much Cassandra for introducing us to our new family now.”

stories from our partners
Listen to why individuals and organizations decided to partner with REAL
“REAL ministries is for single mothers but for me it is more than that, it I not just about being a single mother, this group has been so awesome, especially for my employee Leslie, who has been involved since its inception. This group has given her the tools to help her with her job, with every day’s things of life and just to be a better person. REAL ministry is not a needs-based program it is a tools-based program and as an owner of a company I couldn’t be prouder and more trustworthy to have a mother that is involved in this group. If you are looking for someone to hire and she is a REAL mother, I can almost guarantee that they are getting the tools and the experiences they need to have to show up to work, to show up to LIFE to be the best they can.”
“I’m inspired by all the woman that are a part of REAL. They are women that are standing up, stepping forward, and saying yes to life. Yes, to better futures for themselves and their children. Being a mom can be hard, being a single mom can be very hard, but these women are not alone. They seek out community, resources, and support through REAL. Every woman and child deserves the opportunity to live their best life and REAL provides a path to do just that.”
“As a non-profit, we at The Bridge understand that it takes finances to do ministry. We also understand the importance of being good stewards with God’s money. For the past couple of years, God has led us to partner financially with REAL and we believe this ministry to be a good use of kingdom resources. We are so proud of Kathryn Thompson, REAL, and all of the Mom’s who are learning and growing in mind, soul, and spirit and who are raising their children to do the same.”
“REAL ministries provides life changing training and experience to single
mothers. Although they have a significant impact on those they serve
directly, the benefit is also passed on to the generations that follow.
This ministry provides real blessings to our community, both now and in the
Future!”
