It has been eight years now that Kamille Foundation has been making a difference in the lives of single mothers and their families. It was founded by Camille Glassgow in 2014 as a non-profit organization and licensed in 2017. They have been able to help poverty-stricken families in St. Vincent with food and clothing that were given to them.

Over the years, it has expanded to reach out to families from diverse communities in St. Vincent and now in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has assisted needy families in Jamaica and Antigua. The vision of the foundation is to create opportunities, stability, and hope for every struggling single mother in Ontario and the Caribbean, helping them to become the best version of themselves.

​

In addition, its mission is to provide a better life for single mothers with complex needs through community-based programs and case management support. Some of the free services that are offered by the foundation listed on its website are:

• Provide advocacy initiatives with responsive client-centred services

• Provide financial and case management support to single-income families who are facing challenges around housing and mental health barriers, income instability, and emotional trauma

• Provide mental health and mentorship workshops and programs for children from single-parent families

Camille Glasgow has documented her personal stories of strength, resilience and bravery and how she escaped domestic abuse in her book, “Finding Hope: For Those Without a Voice,” which was launched on Saturday, June 19th, 2022. Producer Devon Banfield interviewed her on the Brandon Gonez Show where she shared how she started the foundation as a single mother with two young children after she escaped domestic abuse in her marriage.
