Why We Do What We Do

Sometimes, it can be easy to get frustrated with this item or that, but there’s a greater purpose.  Whenever we get too frustrated, it doesn’t take long to realize the reason we’re here … here’s what one of our mothers just went through.

Recently one of our single moms was in a car accident on the way home from work.  She was coming to pick up her newborn and her 2 year old and it was near closing time.  The payment for her child care for that week was in her purse and it was all she had to get the car fixed enough to get home.

I work all day and go home to no other person, no pet and no plants.  Many days I sink into my favorite chair and let the drool slide out of the corner of my mouth.  That’s how tired I am.  Thinking of a single mom with two little children, a full-time job, next to no money makes me more tired than working all day myself.  Swimming against the tide, trying to make ends meet when there is too much room in the middle and not having any time left over to coo and cuddle is not fair to mom or baby.

It can always seem tough, but there’s someone out there that has it tougher.  Things can go poorly, but it’s never the worst.  People need child care, and they need to know that VICCC’s here to help.
