Here’s what The Village's moms and dads have to share!
Being a Single Mum for 11 yrs I never knew there was a group or there are single mums like me who are around me until I met Laila and found out that it's okay to stay single and its okay to fight with life for your best living. I was in touch with Laila for the past few months but completely being part of her forum The Village it's been a great 7 months season and Im learning and understanding things that we discuss and the efforts Laila takes to keep Single parents United is impeccable. I'm proud to be part of this group and I have now confidence in facing society's norms I'm glad that's just because of this group and Laila's support! We never feel alone, and that's the best part of this whole team I would love to thank a few other mums like Afeefa, Roohi, Mansi, Pretha, Arathy, and a few others who do support each other and other members of our group! I'm happy to say I have a large group of friends throughout this world 🌎 who are Single but great Mums ❤️...Stay single and slay!

When I was going through a tough period in my life, I came across the Village, and I joined the community as soon as I decided to separate. The Village has consistently been a fantastic source of support for me. I made a lot of friends and always had a cheer squad to help me celebrate my wins. One may not fully comprehend what is happening until one goes through a divorce or another terrible situation. With Village, there is always someone who has experienced the same thing. and came out of the opposite end, the rational voices that assure you that you are not here alone.

I have the privilege of being I think the first male member in The Village in 2022 and also the eldest member. This is a wonderful safe space for Single Parents to have a no holds barred, non-judgmental platform to network, share problems with like-minded people and get multiple kinds of advice on a plethora of issues ...all for free with people who genuinely understand where they r coming from and can genuinely relate to them. It is truly a godsend for Single Parents looking to express themselves without any blowback. Kudos to Laila for this endeavor.

The Village for single parents has been a blessing and a lifesaver on several occasions. It has helped me cope with so much, someone always is awake/around to help here! It’s also a space where we can share recommendations, reviews, and tips on everything from shopping to finances. It has helped so many find work, by circulating resumes and best of all, by like-minded people. We share presents for Christmas and letters of love for Valentine’s, it’s a family of strong women and men, being moderated by one of the fiercest women I know, Laila. Laila has herded this community so well. I’ve learned about personal boundaries, knowing when to say No, voicing my opinion, and so much more especially in her company and also others here. I love this space and we all know we are here for each other through the tough times and the good ones!

Being a single parent can be a lonely and overwhelming journey, but the village has provided me with a network of support that has made all the difference. It's not just a support group, it has become my family. It's a safe space where I can share my experiences without being judged. I have learned a lot from the experiences of family members and it's helping me every day to sail through this journey of single parent. They say, "It takes a Village to raise a child" and I am so grateful that I found one. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a single parent.
