I am just 1 of millions of single parents who do not receive child support, nor can get any type of assistance from our local government. We live in America, Pay our Taxes and work 2+ jobs in order to pay our bills and daycare. I have been denied several times by our local government for Child Care Vouchers. Why? Because I make $124.00 too much to qualify! So, I picked up a second job in July, and that lasted until October, when I was told that if I can't make it there by a certain time, it is best I resign. I work in the health care field, and of course there are days that I can not be there by their designated time. Then I was told my local YMCA has grants for daycare, only to learn my son does not qualify due to his age! Wow. All I can say is there needs to be something done for us who need the help and work/hold a job!
What is so unfair, is that WE are the ones paying for those folks who have children every year, can work but choose to suck the government's teets, rather than be a productive member of society. I guess being a white, single mother, who works 40+ hours a week just at 1 job, which I have held for over 1.5 years now, doesn't matter. I pay our health care, our food and rent/bills, not asking the government for more than VOUCHERS!
Our government is a complete joke. While we are suffering, and swallow our pride because daycare is so expensive, ask for HELP, only to be DENIED. What is our country truly becoming??
Disappointed American, PROUD Mom.
God Bless.
