I just had flowers delivered. They were beautiful! From a current daycare mom, the card made me cry. I gave her a ( small $25/week) rate discount. Included was a check for the difference..... For the YEAR!

Single mom, lost child support ( dad hasn't pd in 8+months). Does not qualify for subsidy because of a few dollars. Picks up time, pays on time, spends every spare second with dcg. This was most of her tax return!

That is awesome, and how rewarding. It makes me so glad that she was so grateful for the discount. I feel like so often providers go out of their way, or give up something on their end and it is taken for granted. How wonderful to have someone who is grateful.

How sweet! This made me smile! I know how much you care about these kids and you do deserve it! Just think of all the other things she could've done with that money but, she chose to pay it forward/back to you! What a great story! I needed this today!

Awe! That is soooo nice! I always believe that what you put out, eventually it comes back around! I've been so fortunate to have the best DCPs I could possibly hope for, it's so nice to feel appreciated!

Thank you for sharing this with us! Yesterday I gave a young couple a break, it backfired this morning. LAM! Even so, I love to hear about someone giving someone a break and that individual appreciating it!
