I have formed this community of amazing women who happen to be Single Mothers primarily, but not exclusively, from Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Medford and Malden.

This meetup is unique from most because it is a chance for families to not only get together at least once a month, but to really be a supportive resource to single …
