Sierra Harju
My name is Sierra Harju and I reside in Minnesota. I have a degree in Health Science from ASU which provided me the education to help families in all stages of life. I was a single mom for 4 years to my oldest child until I met my partner Bryan. Those 4 years as a single mother provided me with the reality of circumstances that single moms have to face on an everyday basis. My goal is to help guide single mothers to the resources they need and provide some financial education so single moms can support their families and build their future.

Financial Freedom
Welcome to our July newsletter! This month, we're diving into a topic that's close to our hearts: achieving financial freedom as a single mom. We understand the unique challenges you face and want to provide you with valuable insights and tips to help you thrive financially.
Introduction:
The journey to financial freedom starts with clear goals. Whether it's building an emergency fund, saving for your child's education, or buying a home, setting specific, achievable goals will give you direction and motivation.
Creating and sticking to a budget is crucial for managing your finances effectively. Track your income and expenses diligently, and look for areas where you can cut back on unnecessary spending. Consider using budgeting apps like Mint or YNAB to streamline this process.
Having a robust emergency fund is essential for weathering unexpected expenses without derailing your financial progress. Aim to save at least three to six months' worth of living expenses in a separate savings account.
Don't hesitate to explore government assistance programs, scholarships, grants, and nonprofit organizations that offer support specifically for single moms (Like us!). These resources can provide valuable financial aid and guidance.
