This group has been a support system in so many ways. I may not always be ableto attend all of the wonderful options they offer but to know that there is always something to look forward to has been comforting and amazing. There are many special woman who organize and support all of us and the members in this group are also so supportive.

I'm a new member and although I'm only just getting into what it's all about I love it already. Thanks to Kaleo my little children were all able to pick out and give me a Christmas gift this year. It was beyond special for us all. They still talk about it. Thank you.Looking forward to trying out a pizza night or a workshop soon. 🙂

After finding myself unexpectedly in the role of single mom, I felt lost, uncertain and scared. I didn't know where I would be able to go for support, for healing, for connection and for community. I was recommended to look into Kaleo Collective and joined their beautiful online community, jumping in with both feet, feeling I had nothing to lose. What I didn't realize was how much I would gain. A sense of purpose, a sense of worth, a sense of direction. I have found my chosen family and they have (and continue to) helped me heal. They have provided a space in which to love and be loved on by other moms who understand the unique journey of being a single parent. They have loved on my daughter in a way I can only describe as magical. I have gained resources, knowledge, skills, and most of all, friends who are more like family. I am ever grateful to Layna, her vision, her passion and her drive in making all of this available to us. I don't know where I would be today if it weren't for Kaleo Collective 💜

If this is a new step forward for you on your journey, I highly recommend taking this course. Through different exercises, you will learn how to form new habits, hold yourself accountable to new changes and become aware of past actions through reflection and exploring your relationship to money. Be brave, this is the next step for you on your journey. It is time for you to move forward. If this is not a new ideal for you on this journey, let this be a good reflection piece to shine a light in your corners. How can you elevate yourself further through this course, how can you fine tweak your actions? To top it all off, the experience to be with other Mamas is comforting knowing that we are not alone, and sitting in each others space helps empower us. Thank you Kaleo for this opportunity.

I had no idea really what to expect when I signed up for the Single Moms Resource program, only that I wanted to connect with other single Mamas. I’m blown away with the resources that were made available, the lessons I learned, the skills I attained, the connections I made, and for truly being seen as supported as a Single Mom. I’m blessed and truly grateful for Kaleo Collective for what it brought, and continues to bring into my life and ripples out to my children.

Kaleo Collective is a amazing resource for single parents but not only that it’s a community, of single moms who support each other, and build each other up, as well as deliver amazing courses, that help get you on the right path to rediscovering yourself as a single parent, and help you refocus where you need to in what you need at the hardest time in your life, as well they do amazing things for your kiddos. Becoming a single parent was super scary and honestly the support I have received from kaleo Collective means the world to me and has really helped me realize I can do this! Thank you Kaleo 🙌

I was brought up with the message to look after yourself because nobody else will. So when I became a single mom in a foreign country, I assumed I was on my own again. Until faith made my path cross with Layna and Kaleo. I didn’t need help financially, I didn’t need help raising my daughter and I thought I didn’t need support. I just wanted to help the charity because I realized many single moms do need this support. But in connecting with Layna, I realized how valuable Kaleo and all these moms are. I have found friends and have made connections I would have never thought possible. I feel so much stronger and have so much support now that I have found this group, it is truly a blessing.Kaleo to me, is not a charity, it is a community. A support system where every mom can get whatever they need, without judgement and with an abundance of love. A safe haven for kids to connect and for moms to feel understood. ❤️

Where do I even begin? Kaleo deserves more than just five stars. Kaleo has created such an amazing support system for single moms. It’s a support system that provides you the tools, resources and confidence to keep you going when you sometimes feel you can’t. Layna has a heart of gold and truly the most loving, kind, generous and over all amazing person I’ve ever met. She makes every single person feel important, empowered and loved. I’ve gained some amazing friends and support systems through Kaleo and like I said, there aren’t enough stars to show how amazing Kaleo really is.

Kaleo is a place I can call home. As a single mom Kaleo has given me a tribe of women who love deeply and share honestly. Single moms are some of the most heartfelt women I know and I have found them through Kaleo. This organization has given me opportunities to learn and grow that have greatly impacted my ability to be the best mom that I can be. I am so grateful to Layna and all the love she has poured and continues to our into not only the organization but into each of us women who have become the Kaleo family.
