About one year ago one of our own Tracy McKay, BCC blogger, single mom, and student, lost the financial support of her ward. And you, the amazing loving fMh community rallied together to get her the support she needed. (we will hear an update from Tracy soon!)
We are proud to announce that this tradition of helping single Mormon mothers will live on in Tracy’s name, as the Tracy McKay fMh Scholarship for Single Mormon Mothers.
Please spread the word far and wide, pass this information along to any Single Student Moms in need of financial assistance. (Note handy scholarship links on the sidebar, look to your right near the top!)

Awesome! I heard this might happen, and it is wonderful to see it become a reality.
There isn’t a better person after which this scholarship could be named.
Cool!
Fabulous name for a great idea.
I read Tracy’s blog and all of the responses to that. My heart was full as I read the messages from those who were willing to help, but I was saddened by those who seemed to think Tracy was a freeloader and thought she should just get a job.. I admire Tracy for wanting to get the best education she can so she can provide better for her children, and I wish her bishop had waited at least until she had her degree to cut her off of church assistance. I certainly understand how she feels. I have some financial problems, too. I was unable to pay my property taxes in November, so now owe interest and penalties, which I can’t pay. My bishop told me they couldn’t pay that, but they did give me some cash and a couple of grocery store gift cards at Christmas (which were much appreciated). That is, I think they came from the ward. The card was unsigned and when I asked the bishop about it, he would not confirm or deny. It might have just come from him personally. Anyway, it was most welcome. I’m retired and I have a part-time minimum wage job, am trying to find more work to supplement my minimal Social Security But if I come up with some spare cash, I will support this scholarship program. It is a most worthy cause.
