Story
We currently have two young sisters, aged 3 and 4, in foster care living with a non-relative caregiver. They were placed with her in mid-March after she noticed their need for additional attention at church and stepped in to provide support. Currently, the caregiver is not receiving a monthly board rate for the girls, she requires assistance with the Saturday daycare fee. While she has support from ELC for daycare from Monday to Friday, she is seeking help for Saturdays due to her work schedule. The caregiver is only looking for assistance for a few Saturdays until the board rate is finalized or until ELC can pick up the bill. She has expressed a strong desire to adopt the girls and is open to any additional support offered. Would you be willing to help this caregiver by providing assistance for a Saturday daycare so she can make it to work and make her 40 hours for the week? Will send invoice from the daycare via email.
