"What Do You Do? from Memphis TN.
It is amazing the world we live in today. The amount of money spent on helping other countries and the little money spent on our furture does not compare. Here I sit in a financial crunch: single mother of two and my three nieces that I have custody of. The TN Child Protective Services and the Department of Human Services have been of little help and demonstrates an “I don’t care attitude.” Relatives should not have to worry about finances when they have the well being of that child to worry about for the rest of their lives. Just to define where your money goes: home, counseling, transportation, school/college, school activities, tutoring, clothing, toiletries and food. Times this by 5 in my life. The bill should definetly be past, just in case my statements were unclear.

I think this is a first step, but the act as written does not cover the majority of caregivers who are caring for children who have never been in the foster care system. They should be able to get a subsidy also
Deb from CT
I agree with Mr. Kronen. Don't get me wrong. I'm greatful for fosterparents. But we (grandparents) don't get help -- such as all mentioned above from Memphis,TN -- not to mention the cost of daycare for those of us who have to work. Please -- everyone -- support this bill S.661/H.R.2188)
