My name is Mansie, and I am a single mother of three children ages 6, 8, and 12. For years, I stayed home because I lacked access to affordable child care. I often wondered what I could do to change this situation, not realizing that there is already a dedicated community fighting on the front lines for childcare rights.
When I was introduced to Schuyler and its incredible advocates, it felt like a heavy weight was lifted off my shoulders. For the first time, I experienced genuine relief, knowing that there are passionate people who care deeply about the challenges faced by those at the very bottom of the socioeconomic ladder in America and the daily issues they face.
