MaaPaa was born out of a personal journey marked by deep challenges and profound change. After facing the trials of untreated bipolar disorder and experiencing the end of my marriage, I found a new purpose in the midst of my struggle. I created MaaPaa as a beacon of hope and support for moms raising boys without a father. It’s a place where resilience and compassion come together to empower and uplift those navigating similar paths. Through MaaPaa, I strive to offer not just practical help, but also a sense of community and understanding for those who need it most.
Mission Statement: MaaPaa is a nonprofit organization catered towards single mothers raising their sons to their highest potential, and empowering mothers to be the best version of themselves.
