Childcare for Amelia

Donation protected
Friends and Family of Jody and Mara,
As most of you know, Jody has been diagnosed with kidney disease. He was just sent home after spending 9 days in ICU. He'll now begin dialysis three times a week.
Jody was the primary caregiver for their daughter, Amelia, since Mara works full-time out of the home.
Any parents out there can sympathize with the exorbitant cost of childcare. However, when the childcare is an unplanned need borne out of a health emergency, the financial toll is potentially devastating. The need to find care for Amelia has created an additional financial burden to a family already weighed down by recent medical bills. Let's all do what we can to contribute to a part-time nanny for Amelia so Mara can work without the stress of scrambling to piece together childcare and both parents can take time to find the best long-term solution for Amelia.
The cost of hiring a nanny to work 25 hours per week for six weeks is $6,250. ($875/week + $1,000 admin fees charged by the agency, Oliver's Nannies, in Millburn.) Six weeks of childcare is our goal but I think we can raise more! Any money contributed past the goal of $6,250 will be used for additional weeks of care. The more time the family has to adjust to the new dynamic of their lives, the better the chance for healing and harmony.
