Janelle’s Story

Janelle, a single mother of two school-age children, came to CHS in April 2020.

Janelle was an essential worker with a local grocery store. With schools closed and both of her children distance learning, Janelle had no idea how she was going to be able to work and continue to support her family. A friend told her about CHS’s child care payment program and she called immediately. CHS staff worked quickly to enroll Janelle in the child care payment program and helped find her quality child care where her children could distance learn safely while she was able to work.

Janelle thanked CHS saying, “I would like to thank you, again. I was so scared to lose my job from missing so much work and they really needed me. It was amazing being able to work without worrying about who would watch my kids. You worked so fast and I’m so grateful. This was my first stress-free day in a while.”

“Thank you so much. Your help allowed me to be able to continue to work without worrying about who would care for my kids at home. You have been a stress reliever.”
