It's sad, really. These individuals need so much more care and yet the money keeps getting cut. The employee conditions worsens, too, which in turn, makes turnover increase and the quality of people drawn to the job, lowered. This decline in quality of employees only means a drop in quality these individuals receive ON TOP of budget cuts in their day programs and living environments.Ashley Bybee Stepphttp://allaboutstepps.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-75961189817757528012011-11-11T09:25:23.000-08:002011-11-11T09:25:23.000-08:00are you at Head Start?

I think the truth of pover...This is so true, Amber. I think the truth of poverty and neglect in our country is completely glossed over. Children aren't naked and starving to death, no. But they are barely clothed and uninsured and hungry and the light of no one's life. That's not how our nation's children should live. That shouldn't happen in the first world.Kellyhttp://themillermix.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-19400185896176594822011-11-08T16:36:43.000-08:002011-11-08T16:36:43.000-08:00I am glad that you are working with these kids.

YOU are a great young mother. You can have this opportunity to share your love with many families. I love you, and I understand the pressures you are feeling. I have been thinking a lot about you. I would love to come spend some time with you and we could just have long talks. You have to know that all the great qualities you possess, do not go away with a loss of faith. And true friends will always be there for the tough times. I love you Amber,Stacey K.http://thehandsthatrock.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
