Resources
Benefits and government programs, housing help, your rights at work, and trusted guides and videos on caring for your baby. Every link goes to an official or long-established source.
Applying is always free
A real government program never charges a fee to apply, and never asks for gift cards or a payment to release a grant. If someone does, it is a scam.
About grants
Money that goes directly to mothers almost always comes through the benefit programs listed here, not one-off grants. Local charities sometimes give small emergency grants: in the United States, call 211; in Mexico, ask at your municipal DIF office.
