"Thank you so much Child Care Counts for the tremendous help and support you have given me and my son. At very trying times, as a single mother, with no family support, your gift not only helped my son and I financially but it touched my heart in such a way it brings me to tears. Thank you for supporting me - building me up- and setting me up for success." - Parent and Client of Child Care Countld
