We are motherless mothers who found each other in the shared silence of our journeys.
We established this community to offer the understanding, connection, and direction we couldn't find elsewhere.
Our story is one of discovery and hope—a light in the darkness of the newborn haze.
In June 2024, Louise was navigating the early weeks of motherhood with her firstborn son.
All without the love, attention, and nurturing tenderness of her own mother. She dropped a message on a closed Facebook group, seeking support from other mothers in a similar situation.
Adina responded, and they instantly connected, both agreeing there needed to be more accessible support, connection, and representation for motherless mothers.
This marked the start of The Motherless Mothers community and charity. In July 2025, just over a year since Louise and Adina started this initiative, TMM was officially registered as a UK Charity 1214355.

What is a community builder?*
A part of the original team helping shape what TMM becomes—from the culture to the systems to the support.
These volunteers are not just here to help. They’re here to co-create.
