How did we get the name Caring Cub?

How did we get the name Caring Cub?

When Gretchen, the founder of Caring Cub, was younger her dad called her bear. This stuck over the years and when she had Grayson, her dad started calling him Cub to follow the tradition.

Grayson opened Gretchen’s eyes to the challenges single parents face with the day to day parenting. She experienced the difficulties of affording formula, diapers, wipes and so much more, meanwhile she had a hard time just getting to the store to get necessities and struggled trying to take care of herself. This was all occurring even though she had an impeccable support system. She realized that even with the amazing help of family and friends, there were just some things that wouldn’t be easy or that she would have to do on her own.

Through the first year of having her son, she kept praying for answers on what to do with the feelings she had, with the frustration and the overwhelming love and sadness at the same time. One day it hit her that she really wanted to pay it forward and help other new, single parents who would face the same (or even worse) scenarios.

When Gretchen took this idea to Allison, they decided to work together and they started to work out the details. Of course, the first question was what should we call this mission? Gretchen told Allison that she wanted Grayson to be incorporated since he was truly the inspiration for Gretchen and that is when they decided on the name Caring Cub!
