Kaleo Collectives founder Layna has done such an amazing job of building a community for single mothers to share, learn, and grow in a safe space. Whatever life reasons brought us to single parenthood, it's refreshing to know that we are not alone, and the Kaleo community aleviates the heaviness of 'single', allowing us to embrace 'motherhood'. This afternoonI attended a heartwarming, lovely, and thoughtful event at Londonderry Mall for mothers Day. Every part of the event hosted by Kaleo Collective was carefully thought out to give us mothers a chance to feel special, and that's exactly how I felt! The event had a large closed off area for children, in which they could craft up cards, and select gifts and present it alongside a beautiful bouquet of flowers, giving them the resources and opportunity to showcase their art and love for us. While they were working on their gift, I was able to enjoy refreshments and pick out a gift from a range of luxury brand makeupfrom Anastasia to Burberry and Gucci. We ended our experience at the photobooth and received a photo from the professional photographers that I will cherish! Thank you for your efforts and time!

How do I write about Kaleo Collective without tears?As a solo-single Mama I have a lot of weight on my shoulders. And although I have a great support system, the network and connections I’ve gained through the Kaleo Family are invaluable.Kaleo is a community where Mamas can come together and feel fully accepted without judgement, bond though shared experiences and share knowledge and resources.In turn, we’re enabling each other, ourselves and our children.The kids not only see their Mamas learning and gaining self-efficiency and self-esteem, they also see us being powerfully vulnerable as we lean on each other for support. They are learning through the most powerful means: the example of their Mamas and adult loved-ones. They also have the opportunity to feel really special through events and activities, and to make their Mamas feel special by giving back to them by participating in Little Santas and Love Your Mama.I am so happy to see Kaleo growing and having the ability to offer more and different programs, and to be able to support more Mamas as it grows.I highly recommend joining the family as a Mama, a volunteer or a donor!Thank you Layna for sharing your heart, your ENTHUSIASM, and your family with us. And Happy 24th Austin! 🥳

Kaleo collective has given me the opportunity to feel apart of a community of amazing women. Being a single mom with no family in a big city makes things like love you mama event so special, giving the opportunity for my son to pick a gift without me knowing is extra special.

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 Collective is an amazing, loving and supportive community for single moms, with a focus on connection. Layna, the Founder, has a passion for creating safe and supportive spaces for all single moms to share, grow, build community, learn new skills, build friendships, thrive and have fun. There are so many great programs, courses, groups and activities for both the moms and their children. The single mom resource group is a fantastic course with so much valuable information and skill building and I would highly recommend it.The wonderful Kaleo community of single moms that has been built, and continues to grow, is amazing and I am so thankful to be a part of it! Kaleo has had a very positive and significant impact in my life and in the lives of my children. I always feel loved, supported and empowered. Thank you for everything!

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.

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.

Kaleo Collective is the best community for single mamas. I am so glad I have found a place where I have found so many like minded mamas, support and SO many resources to make me an even better mama so my kids can thrive! The founder Layna, is truly a gem. She is what I like to call the matriarch of mamas and has proven time and time again that we are not alone. If you are a mama and you feel alone, connect with Kaleo- you won’t regret it!

Lennea B.

1625865412

As a single mom, life can be scary. Add anxiety and recovering from an abusive situation and you can feel very very alone. I had a phone call with Layna from Kaleo before my first in person meeting with the support group and I already had a good feeling about this amazing group of women. Kaleo has helped me grow in more ways than I ever could have imagined or dreamed of. I have found my love for myself, my confidence and truly a place to belong. From weekly meet ups for my mental health to courses on vision planning, budgeting and so much more I cannot thank Layna and the whole Kaleo family for truly giving me my life back!

Jeff H.

1625864185

This is an organization that I'm honoured to serve and support. The work that Layna and her team at Kaleo do to bring women together, to foster confidence and belief in themselves and to help them to build and refine skills that make life better for them and their kids is heartwarming. Kaleo targets an important gap missed by governments and agencies - and the women who participate appreciate the opportunity to journey collectively.I'll conclude by acknowledging that I'm not a mom, or a single mom - but I was raised by one. I also married one. 😉

This is a MUST for every woman who finds herself single with children. The community is engaging and caring and the training offered is second to none. From nutrition, getting creative with your kids to solid self care this is one stop shopping. Founder Layna Haley, herself a single mom at 16, is the real deal and seeks out professional help for the woman in this group!
