I don't know that there is anything such as free money for single mothers but I think it is really dependent upon the state that you live in. You can obtain help from your state's government but there are a few things that you have to do in order to be eligible. For instance, you may have to show that your income is lower than the level of poverty for your area. This will help you to obtain food
. stamps for you and your family and also day care, depending on how old the child or children are. Also, if you have children under the age of 5, you can receive WIC. One other source is filing for child support. If you do this and the father does not pay, you can receive emergency cash assistance.
