"I'm a single mom of four. A couple years ago their father passed away, so now it’s just me. I am a lab assistant, so I make more than the minimum wage, but it’s still hard. I want to go back to school to finish my bachelor’s degree. I am so close! But I am working just to survive.
I don’t know what I’d do without United Way and Early Head Start helping me afford childcare, helping with toys and clothes for my kids, and helping me with groceries when SNAP was delayed earlier this year."
- Mercedes Robinson, Early Head Start mom
