In October of 2018, Gretchen had her adorable son, Grayson (aka Cub). This was the start of a fun and exciting time for her, but also a very challenging one. Gretchen quickly started to understand the struggles and frustrations that single parents go through. While she was experiencing difficult times, she realized that other single parents have gone through much worse and that she was actually very fortunate and blessed, despite the challenges she faced. Through her journey, she felt as though she was meant do something with what she learned and the idea hit her to help new, single parents.

Allison and her husband, Zach Rennaker, welcomed their precious baby girl, Finley, in April of 2019. Allison and Zach have always been grateful for each other, but after having their daughter, they were taken to a new level of appreciation for the partnership they have, especially when it comes to caring for their little girl. Because of witnessing the struggles, challenges and frustrations Gretchen faced, especially in the first year of having her son, when Gretchen approached her with the idea of helping new, single parents, Allison immediately asked if she could help and Caring Cub began.
