A Single Mother With a Childcare Subsidy Writes to Paul Ryan
March 19, 2013
To Whom It May Concern:
I'm a single mother with two kids under 3, a full-time student, and working, so I don't have much time to write.
But I have to tell whoever is willing to listen that the daycare subsidy I receive has saved my life. I'm able to go back to school to get the kind of job that will help me afford to support the three of us on my own and I'm secure in the knowledge that my children are well-cared for and developmentally stimulated while I can't be with them.
They will be ready for school right when I finish and together I see us accomplishing great things. None of this would be possible without that subsidy. It is our lifeline and I thank God for it every day.
Please don't take that away. Signed, Nan Mooney
