Where it's Needed
Forgotten Mom Inc. (FMI), is a registered (501(c)(3), non-profit initiative established to address, support, and find help for the dramatically underserved population of individuals struggling with the disease of addiction. We support and educate moms about issues pertaining to addiction, behavioral health and available treatment options. We are growing the numbers of families getting the help they need. We are committed to doing everything in our power to keep Mom healthy and families thriving. In order to accomplish this goal, FM-CAN is building a critical coalition to collectively build the awareness and resources all communities need.
Whether a mother is on the receiving end of the much-needed treatment resources we coordinate or on the giving end by helping FMI find support for a loved one currently struggling, mothers are the key to healing families in need, which is why our focus starts with her. Mothers and their unconditional love is what connects each and every one of us together; despite differing cultural, religious, and political views, we can universally agree that all life and love begins with a mother. It is our privilege to celebrate all mothers while providing the healing resources their families need.

Frequently asked questions
Why we need to expand.
The non-profit landscape in the state of Florida has witnessed numerous closings in the addiction support service areas. While the rate of addiction is increasing with the introduction of new and more dangerous drugs.
Forgotten Mom knows how important the long term support of mothers with addiction is in successful outcomes and improving the social determinants of health including housing, education, and healthcare. We are helping mothers and families battling substance abuse in an area where addiction is on the rise and services are disappearing.
Why do we need to help more mothers and their families?
In creating more wraparound services and building a longer continuum of care for mothers and their children, we can build healthier, more equitable communities.
Why is support needed after detox?
For mothers and their families to rebuild a strong future, requires both short and long term support to prevent relapse. It proactively supports them in building healthier lives.
How can I make a difference?
Every dollar you donate will impact the services and support these women and children need to aid in a healthier life.
We are creating a complete safety net from inpatient services, outpatient services, real-time technology support, and acquisition of the Forgotten Mom Sanctuary property with 20 beds. We need $2.68 Million to make it happen.
Current Funding
Your support and dollars will create healthier communities, more vibrant families, and a longer term outcome for success. Thank you!

Our Testimonials
What people are saying about Forgotten Mom
I couldn’t be more impressed with the mission, direction, and dedication of the good people at Forgotten Mom. While the entire country is struggling to find a way to combat the opiate epidemic that impacts us all, Forgotten Mom has built an exceptional non-profit dedicated to finding resources for the millions of mothers, children, and families, who are struggling with the disease of addiction without any accessible resources or support.
Their organization recognizes that a healthy mother figure is the foundation for a wholesome family, community, and society; I completely agree and am honored to endorse Forgotten Mom.

Former Governor of Wisconsin
I contemplated suicide, I lost everything, but I never lost faith. I decided I needed to find whatever ounce of strength I had left and go to rehab. Because of the values my mother instilled in me I can happily say that I am 9 months clean. I am 28 and I am ready to take back the beautiful life that was given to me.
When I found out about Forgotten Mom, I couldn’t believe there was such a beautiful organization that helped mothers like me integrate into society. With the help of Forgotten Mom, my life can change. I am stronger than I have ever been and I am ready right now to start my life the right way.
