Yvette Hicks Shutdown Fund

Yvette Hicks says she has to ration her children’s asthma medication because of the government shutdown, which she says began on her first day as a security officer for the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

Yvette recently joined CNN's Full Circle to describe how her family is coping with missed paychecks. 

We'd like to ensure that Yvette can provide her children with their necessary medication as well as other much-needed items like housing and food.

My name is Josh Tjaden of Astoria, NY. I was moved to help the people I’ve been seeing on the news who, through no fault of their own, have been thrust into this unnecessary emergency. Please help me and a few other like-minded people look out for our fellow Americans.
