They also have an excellent program for women who are DOMESTIC VIOLENCE emergencies through the Dove Project. This is the lawyer referral I used when dealing with my post-divorce domestic violence issues and highly recommend it for any woman who is experiencing threats against her life or her children from her ex. I have included all the links below to the many services NH offers to women and men who may be be in a low income brakett and cannot afford to pay for services on their own.

For Child Abuse Issues:

BACA Mission Statement

Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. We exist as a body of Bikers to empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. We stand ready to lend support to our wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. We work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. We desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of our organization, and that we are prepared to lend our physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and our physical presence. We stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. We do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner, however, if circumstances arise such that we are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, we stand ready to be that obstacle.

FREE Grants and Low Interest Loans are available for those who qualify. As a single mother, you probably qualify for one or more!

Check out these websites for more information. You also need to check with the school you will be attending. They often have their own list of grants and scholarships available to their students.
