It All Starts with an Idea
Welcome to Village of the Second Sunrise!
At Village of the Second Sunrise, we believe no mother should ever feel alone — and that every child deserves the chance to grow, thrive, and shine.
As a single mother myself, I know the challenges that come with raising children while facing adversity. From navigating unexpected bills to balancing school, work, and childcare, the weight can feel overwhelming. But I also know the power of community, compassion, and resilience.
That’s why I founded Village of the Second Sunrise: to create a space where parents don’t just survive, but truly flourish.
Our Mission
We empower, support, and uplift single parents and pregnant women facing hardship by building strong foundations for families. Our programs provide:
The Nest – mentorship, support circles, and life-skills workshops
The Launch – job readiness, digital literacy, and micro-business support
The Haven – emergency supplies, transportation, and community care
The Strong Start Fund – small grants for education, certifications, and new beginnings
The Horizon - Child Enrichment and Development – opportunities for children to learn, grow, and shine
Why “Village of the Second Sunrise”?
Every new sunrise carries hope — a chance to begin again, to find strength, and to imagine a brighter tomorrow. Our name reflects the belief that no matter what challenges a family has faced, it’s never too late for a fresh start.
