❤️ A MOTHER’S LOVE DOESN’T DISAPPEAR WHEN HER ADDRESS DOES.
She may be sleeping in a shelter, motel, car, or crowded room in someone else’s home.
But she is still comforting frightened children, finding their next meal, getting them to school, and carrying fears she tries desperately not to let them see.
The statistics are heartbreaking:
🏠 On any single winter night of 2025, 230,366 people in families with children were experiencing homelessness.
🧒 Approximately 134,000 children were counted as experiencing homelessness that night.
🎒 During the 2023–2024 school year, public schools identified 1,548,191 students experiencing homelessness—the highest number ever recorded.
💜 Research summarized by the Institute for Children, Poverty & Homelessness found that some studies estimate up to 80% of mothers with children who become homeless had previously experienced domestic violence.
And even these numbers do not tell the whole story. Mothers and children staying temporarily with relatives or friends are often invisible in traditional homelessness counts.
Behind every statistic is a mother trying to make an impossible situation feel safe for her children.
Homelessness can take away an address. It should never take away someone’s dignity, humanity, or hope.
At Operation Frosty, we see the person—not the label.
Because kindness never melts. ☃️💙
