Celebrate Heidi's 50th by supporting Motherful!
On May 8th, Heidi Howes turns 50.
She's not asking for gifts. She's not asking for cards.
She's asking for $50,000 to resource single mothers.
This is the 50K for 50 campaign — a birthday fundraiser to honor Heidi's 50 years on Mother Earth.
Join us in celebrating Heidi — and the 1,200+ mothers who make up Motherful.
What Your Donation Will Fund:
$50,000 will allow us to:
✅ Support 1,200+ single mothers in our Collective with emergency funds, resources, and community care
✅ Continue the Ohio Mothers Trust — Columbus' first guaranteed unconditional income program for single moms (32 mothers receiving $6,000 each)
✅ Expand our food pantry — Volunteer-led, distributing fresh food, diapers, and household essentials every week
✅ Grow our wellness programs — including our new Apothecary holistic wellness initiative
✅ Build toward Motherful Village — a co-housing community designed by and for single mothers
Every dollar brings us closer to a world where single mothers don't just survive — we thrive.
