[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 529824, member: 1722"] Now wait a minute... all I did was write a check. I've been blessed with a fairly comfortable middle class life whereas many have not. I got just as much out of that check as this child will; maybe more. ;) Many people do much more everyday with a whole lot less. My mother, who was a drug abusing alcoholic difficult child in her own right, often let a homeless man she knew stay with her during cold weather. Many parents go to work all day and rush home to coach their community's kids at soccer or baseball. Older adults often try to connect with the kids in their neighborhoods and be surrogate grandparents. People donate their time to do a story hour at the local library or teach kids how to paint. My third grade teacher brought her students to her home in small groups to work on craft projects and home Easy Child type stuff (at her own expense). I know another teacher that runs a summer reading club for those students coming into her class the next fall. I just wrote a check. ;) [/QUOTE]
