There are various Wisconsin single parent grants currently being offered to residents of the state who are experiencing a financial emergency. If you are finding it difficult to provide your child with the necessities, then you may be the perfect candidate for one or more of these Wisconsin single parent grants.
First we will discuss Wisconsin single parent grants that are intended to help you pay for your child care expenses. Any single mom or dad knows that a trustworthy daycare service can be one of the most expensive services necessary.
Fortunately there are programs available that can help you afford this important service so you can concentrate on your work knowing your child is in good hands. The Wisconsin Shares Child Care Subsidy Program is one of the best programs available for this type of care and if you are experiencing financial difficulties you are the perfect candidate.
Next it is important to address the various programs available for providing your children with free or affordable medical insurance. The Medicaid program is the main grant developed for this service and it is also probably the best as well. If you have a very low income you can qualify to receive free or discounted health care for both you and your children. If your children do not qualify for this program there are still options available for you, such as the BadgerCare Plus Program for children. All children under the age of 19 are eligible to receive benefits for this program.
Even the simple act of providing your children with nutritious food can be difficult when you are on your own, so the state has developed programs in order to make groceries more affordable. FoodShare is the state’s official food stamps program and is certainly worth looking into. If you qualify you will receive a debit card that can be used only to buy certain types of food from the grocery store.
Certain products such as hot foods, alcoholic beverages, and tobacco products may not be purchased with your card. You may be eligible to receive additional financial support from WIC if you are an expecting mother or have children ages five and under.
Another excellent program that is available for low income families is TANF, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. This program also provides you with a debit card, but the funds may be used to purchase a much broader range of products, indulging not only food but also furniture, clothing, and similar necessities. Just as with the FoodShare program, certain products such as alcohol and tobacco may not be purchased with your card.
There are several other different types of Wisconsin single parent grants available that are outside the scope of this article to explain. There are programs available to help individuals such as yourself such as rent assistance and even college grants. If you are in need of additional financial support, these programs can be a lifesaver.

i’m a single parent and i’m looking for help with finding a job, buying a car, and paying my bills. Please if you could help me and my 2 girls, i would be very thankful. Antonia Means
I’m a single mother of a 6 year old son with ADHD. My son is having so many issues with stability and since he was 2 we’ve moved from place to place because I was fired from my job (making $52,500/annually) of 9 years for having carpal tunnel. We tried living with my mother and my sister but went back and forth every couple months and it just made our relationships fall apart.
I did receive a settlement for wrongful termination from my employer and put it all down on a mobile home in a trailer park so that we would have our own place however I was only able to get a minimum wage job and it didn’t cover our bills after my son and I ended up in the hospital for about a month when we both got the H1N1 virus last year. So, we lost our home.
We’ve now been renting another mobile home on an acre of land in Nekoosa which we just love and we were able to keep our pets. We moved in with another girl to help us with the rent so that we could afford it and because with my credit the landlord would have never let us. A couple weeks ago the roommate moved out and left us sitting. I am currently working as a Bus Aide for a school so I only get unemployment during the summer besides another very part-time minimum wage job. As soon as I started applying this summer for the unemployment I was told that it was on hold because they had to do some recalculating / adjustments and that I owed them a back payment. So I’ve already got another eviction notice and cannot pay rent again this month. I’ve been trying for the last couple months to sell everything I can to come up with rent money but just haven’t made enough yet to cover the whole month since my roommate has now left. I won’t be able to make enough to even be able to afford taking care of my son now that he’s starting kindergarten and paying all the other bills and keeping up with the full rent. I’ve been on the section 8 housing authority list for over a year, I think maybe even 2 years and they say it could be another year or two yet. Can you PLEASE tell me where if anywhere I can find any kind of assistance.
I still have yet to sign my son up for school because I don’t know if we will have a home in a couple weeks. I won’t have money for school clothes, school supplies, or any necessities. To top it all off nothing else has gone right for us in the past couple months, one of our best cats passed away at only 6 years old after a weeks stay at the vet and a $400 vet bill. My car is falling apart; I don’t know what I’ll do when that happens. I don’t have money to pay for repairs much less gas to get to doctor appointments.
I’m exhausted, stressed beyond belief and haven’t gotten a good nights rest in I don’t know how long, I just don’t know where to turn anymore.
I want so bad to go to school for photography and web design but I can’t afford to go to school and raise my son and pay bills. Is there any type of program out there that can help me in anyway, shape, or form? I am just desperate at the moment…
