Let's talk about something close to our hearts: the well-being of our families. 💕 Did you know that “children living with both biological parents are 20 to 35 percent more physically healthy than children from broken homes?” (40 Facts about Two-Parent Families | Studies and Statistics, 2016)  It's a powerful reminder of the impact strong family bonds can have on our loved ones' lives. At The Corliss Family Foundation, we're deeply passionate about supporting individuals, organizations, and movements that support the health and unity of traditional families. In a world where life's challenges can sometimes pull us apart, it's vital to stand together and provide the love and support our families need. Together, we can create a world where families are strengthened, and our children have the best chance to thrive. 

When a parent's love faces stigma and societal judgment, the family foundation is shaken.

Despite challenges, resilience sparks determination to rebuild unbroken bonds. Join the movement to shatter stigma and celebrate family resilience.

Vulnerable single mothers matter... Building a community of resilient, empowered, and hard-working single moms who are also vulnerable is a powerful way to offer support, inspiration, and strength to one another. By coming together, sharing experiences, and lifting each other up, these single moms can create a network of encouragement and empowerment. Encouraging those who have succeeded to share their stories of triumph can serve as a beacon of hope for others facing similar challenges. These success stories can motivate, inspire, and offer practical insights on overcoming obstacles and achieving goals. By highlighting the journeys of those who have thrived despite adversities, the community can foster a sense of possibility, resilience, and determination among its members.
