2025 J & D Kidwell Legacy Grant

Even Super Single Moms/Widows Need a Little Help

The holiday season can be financially distressing for single moms and widows with children. Vital 2 Life Ministries realizes there are unique circumstances you and your children face as a single parent family or as a widow. As such, asking for help – and saying yes when it’s offered – can be difficult at times. Vital 2 Life Ministries is proud to offer a grant in honor of J & D Kidwell for their continued support and hearts to assist single moms & widows in need.

This grant program is a direct answer to God’s calling to care for orphans and widows according to James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”  God has a place for you! You may feel that you should be able to cope on your own. You may also worry that you are being a burden. We believe God has a purpose and a plan for every person and Vital 2 Life Ministries is here to help no matter what you have gone through.

Sisters in Strength

Sisters in Strength is a Single Mothers and Widows Ministry at Vital 2 Life.

Vital 2 Life Ministries wants to remind you that God has a place for you! We believe God has a purpose and a plan for every person and we are here to support you, no matter what you have gone through.

Our goal is to empower our Sisters in Strength. We do this by providing a space for you to form a community of support and growth with one another. These are some of the ways that we do this:

  • Group Me for just our registered Sisters in Strength
  • Seasonal support (Backpack and School Supplies Giveaway, Christmas Gifts Giveaway, Mother's Day event, Cash Grants, etc)
  • Financial Course, in partnership with STCH Ministries
  • Virtual Bible Study
  • Prayer Line

Welcome!

We are so glad that you are going to be joining us. The next step for you is to complete our 2024 Sisters in Strength Membership Form. This form will help us get to know what your specific areas of need and interests are. This way we can contact you for specific reasons rather than send you things that you are not interest in hearing more about. Please watch your email for the Sisters in Strength Membership Form. 

The form link you will receive is separate from the J&D Kidwell Application. You do not have to fill it out to be eligible for the grant.
