Side By Side Moms Foundation was created from a simple desire—to give back, to listen, and to ensure that no mother or caregiver feels alone.

 

Founded by Barbara Simon Young, the organization was inspired by my personal experiences.  At one point in my life, I was also a single mother raising three children. I understand the strength, sacrifice, and resilience it takes to show up every day for your family while navigating life's challenges. In addition, my siblings and I have experienced the responsibility of caregiving firsthand. A few years ago, our mother suffered a stroke, and together we stepped into the role of caring for her. That experience deepened my understanding of the emotional, physical, and financial demands caregivers often face while still managing families, careers, and everyday responsibilities.

​

Side By Side Moms Foundation—a place where mothers and caregivers can feel supported, encouraged, connected, and empowered. I believe that no one should have to face life's challenges alone. Through community outreach, educational programs, mentorship, resource referrals, family-centered events, and meaningful partnerships, we strive to empower women and strengthen families.

​

We believe that when mothers are supported, families flourish, and communities become stronger.
