“People don't know how expensive it is to be poor.” — Tyler Perry’s Straw

Motherhood doesn’t break you with one moment. It breaks you with a thousand invisible weights—mental, emotional, hormonal, and financial.

I once met a mother in Meijer, arms full with her screaming infant, dragging a grocery cart behind her. I told her, “Go feed your baby. I’ll stay with your cart.” She returned with tears in her eyes, saying, “That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.”

That moment lit a fire in me—a reminder that the world needs more grace, more empathy, and more people willing to say, “I see you, Mama. Let me help.”

This is why I created KindNest. Because sometimes the smallest act of kindness is the thing that saves a mother from her final straw.

Poverty isn’t something you fix with a snap of your fingers—and it’s certainly not a character flaw. It’s a complex, ongoing issue that has existed for generations. In this post, I share why it’s time we stop judging those who are struggling and start being part of the solution. Whether it’s through donations, support, or simply choosing compassion over criticism—we all have a role to play. If you’re tired of the negativity and ready to serve with purpose, this message is for you.

New moms are expected to care for their newborns, but who’s caring for them? In the U.S., postpartum support is shockingly inadequate, leaving many mothers overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggling in silence. While newborns receive endless care and attention, mothers are expected to "bounce back" almost immediately. It's time to change that. Discover why new moms deserve the same tenderness, support, and protection as their babies—and how we can all play a role in making postpartum care a priority.

New moms are healing, adjusting, and learning—just like their newborns. Yet, while babies are showered with care, moms are often left to struggle alone. It’s time to change that.
