Dear Editor,
I work for EFAA. So all day, every day, I meet with people and families in our mountain community who need help making rent, filling their propane, fixing their car, etc. I have front row tickets to the very real needs of our local families.
100% of the time the families I meet with need to increase their income to achieve any kind of stability. AND they LITERALLY CAN’T without safe affordable childcare. Period.
If I could magic wand one thing that would make the biggest difference for our local families, it would be childcare. No doubt. Even ahead of affordable housing.
Your vote YES for childcare will stabilize struggling families and strengthen our mountain community in so many ways you’d get bored reading them all.
It is rare when we are given the opportunity to show up for our community in such a meaningful way. This is our moment, Nederland, to hop off the fence, and change some lives.
