I'm Melissa- a single parent. I ward off scary shadow monsters and read princess books daily. I'm a play dough artist, a macaroni and cheese chef, and I know how to play make believe. I am a single parent who will make a difference in this world. I am motivated everyday by my daughter. I started The Help Inspire Others Project.  It's a project for people nationwide to submit THEIR stories based on single parenting, abortion, adoption, miscarriage, stillbirths, and teenage pregnancy. If you have experienced any of these please check out some of my links as to how your story can find me. I'm compiling the works into a book to help others who are or will be going through similar experiences. If you'd like to be a part of this project feel free to contact me for more information.
