Rebecca Stromsdorfer, co-founder of My Homeschool Village, shares her homeschool journey and why she started My Homeschool Village.Join My Homeschool VillageMy Homeschool Village Description We are women who are sacrificing everything to raise our children the way they deserve. We are banning together to make sure that our rights are not taken from us. We are fighting together for our children. I will fight for yours as you fight for mine. We have had enough of others telling us what is best for our families and will fight for the ability to make those decisions ourselves. We will love, sustain and support each other as we struggle through Motherhood and homeschooling. We will uplift and strengthen each other in our daily battles. This is where we communicate, provide resources and gather. It is time to create the village that we actually want to help raise our children. In the old days women would gather around the water wells, help each other through pregnancies, and trials. I may not be able to meet you at the well, but we can all be a part of one amazing village.
