Story
Single mom raising two young children, a 2-year old boy and a 7-year-old girl. Summer is fast approaching, and when the school year ends, the 7-year-old will need childcare so that mom can continue to work. Mom would love for her daughter to be enrolled in a summer camp, but she cannot afford any of the ones that she has found so far. This young girl, in the 2nd grade, is reading at a 5th grade level! She is not only academically gifted, but is also sweet, sensitive, and kind. Mom just recently got back on her feet after a number of setbacks, including the loss of her own mother, who was her only stabile family support, and the realization that she could not continue to put herself through nursing school and work the long shift hours with two young children, and no help. Mom is the sole income-provider and has been fighting to give her children a better life. Mom has found a new job that she loves and that accommodates her schedule with her children, but it does not pay much. Mom has plans to go back to school to be an Ultrasound Technician within the next year. Any support in helping fund her daughter's enrollment in a summer camp is very much appreciated! For a cost breakdown, it is $50 a month for her daughter to attend the same daycare that her son goes to, and summer lasts 6 weeks.
