Looking to Find/Start an 'Unemployed' Mom's Group in South OC

I have a friend who is unemployed and has 4 boys - her husband was in an accident and they are now homeless. She has a 4, 5, 13 and 18 year old - all boys. She has great ideas and resources and you two should hook up! She writes an inspirational blog -

She was just introduced to a company with great products that are helping her autistic son and there is money to be made by just sharing DVD's with people - let me know if you want her email addy!

Hi M.,
I would definitely be interested in joining a group like this. Let me know what comes of it. I am in Costa Mesa.
Glad your out there inquiring.

Best,
S.

I would recommend Linkedin. Also, try CollectiveX and search for a group called OCEAN. There probably aren't specific groups for Unemployed Mothers but at least going to the events you'll have the opportunity to meet other unemployed mothers. Several people are networking now at business events hoping to meet the right people to lead to a job.

Hi M. - I was unemployed a couple years ago and started my own home based business that it really wonderful and paying off in so many ways for my family now. I think in many ways this economy will motivate women make more options for themselves. I think starting this group you're talking about is such a great idea. You never know when one of your group may have a connection that could lead you to a job that wasn't a fit for her, but may be for you. And of course, just having other women to lean and and support each other is so valuable in itself. If you come across any groups, or if one you create in includes moms with home based businesses, please let me know! Thank you!

I run a website for Orange County moms that is a great place to meet other moms and network. You can definitely find other SAHMs, as well as those working or looking for work. The site has a message board for posting general questions and also has a groups page where you could specifically form a group for moms looking for work, plan get togethers, and more.

Have you checked meetup.com? I have found several of my clubs on this site and love having like-minded people to chat with. You can search distance to you or by category, etc.

Have you ever thought of working from home? There are many opportunities out there that require very little time or effort. They often let you form your own schedule and you set the pace.

I'm involved in MonaVie. There's NO ENROLLMENT FEE, so it's free to get started. I made money after 2 weeks doing it, and am now making money every week (I've only been doing it for 4 months) and I only spend an hour or two here or there. www.mymonavie.com/Galles

Good luck to you!
