MOMS:
The Fund for Mothers with Young Children
We are thinkers, teachers, parents, and carers who want a future for all kids.
With the ongoing destruction of human habitat and social fabric that future grows dimmer by the moment. We aim to brighten it with effective criticism, advice, and strategic grants.
All our services are free of charge.
All proceeds from the sale of Alma Mater books go to MOMS.

Blue Print for a Dream: Saving Our Species in Seven Steps, 2024
“Blueprint for a Dream”
Yale offered a course on happiness. It became popular and Yale offered it to the public. Harvard and other colleges followed suit. Blueprint is the fix for this tragic error. Earth’s fever is rising, ecosystems are crashing, plants and animals are racing to extinction, the ultra-rich are gobbling all the money, children are starving, while other children are growing obese, democracy is hanging by an unraveling thread, nuclear winter is lying in wait, and we’re running out of time. Is happiness what you really want? Fear, anger, sorrow, and desperation seem more appropriate. Extinction beckons.
Wake-up, and let’s save our species (SOS).
The Hartford Prep. School
Hartford Prep. is a free program for people who want a bachelor’s degree and have a high school diploma or GED but are not otherwise college-ready. It includes a podcast (buzzsprout.com/2103219) that will encourage listeners to become critical thinkers and effective speakers. With proficiency in these two skills, listeners may change colleges to become true alma maters, and, in the process, earn their bachelor’s degrees.
“Blueprint for a Dream” will serve as their game plan. Over time, MOMS will connect the teams to build a city-wide family of highly motivated moms preparing kids to save our future. This family will support individual members with childcare, shopping (buying in bulk saves money), transportation, sharing of toys and clothes, crisis support (emotional as well as other), security, advice, and constructive criticism.
Eventually, the family will expand to encompass all Hartford residents giving from each according to ability to each according to need. In this way, everyone in Hartford will gain enough, and no one will want more than they need.
We recommend this plan for every city worldwide.
