The problem mostly faced by single mothers is the lack of  cash inflow due to a sudden death of a spouse, or some other reason. No doubt,  children are very expensive to raise and those single mothers are mostly found in a  bad place, financially, the reason behind it is that they lack the education and many  financial opportunities. They have to sacrifice much for their children, but the good  thing is, for single, needy moms there's always financial aids available.

Number one is "Federal grants for individuals", they can also be called as special needs grants, which include a lot of things like House grants, food grants, work grants and some other. The other type grant is called the Education grant, they provide money for the children's education. Single moms can do a search over the internet for the available grants and  then apply for it. Of course if you need help you will have to spend time on looking for those grants. Some private organisations also offer grants to single moms.  www.singlemom.com also offers some grants on its website. It has a "Financial Grant  Program".
