The nonprofit helps single mothers throughout California with necessities for their families.
Inspired by her grandmother who raised three children as a single parent in the 1950s, Samantha Tradelius is making it her mission to help single mothers.
The Novato business owner directs a maze of community volunteers and first responders as they fill 5,000 backpacks with dozens of supplies.The annual backpack giveaway is part of Tradelius's 7-year-old nonprofit, called Sparkle. Today, Samantha stores boxes of donations at her home as she and hundreds of volunteers expect to shower about 70 families with holiday gifts. The gifts include a holiday meal, gift cards, and often, necessities single parents have requested like socks and bed sheets.
In addition, Tradelius supports single moms who plan to expand a business or start a new one. Her nonprofit offers short-term, interest-free loans paid back within three years. "She said, 'You have to tell my story because there are so many women just like me that never ask for help,'" Tradelius said.
