I’m Michael Bowen, author of Zoomy Grace & The Big Race, and I’m on a mission to create affordable, 24-hour daycare centers in underserved communities.

Too many parents miss work or turn down opportunities because they don’t have access to safe, reliable childcare — especially during night shifts or odd hours. We’re raising $1,000,000 to open our first center within 2 years, with a long-term vision of expanding to 10+ communities in the next decade.

Donations will cover rent, payroll for qualified staff, enrichment programs, and essential overhead — all while working with government programs to make care affordable for families.

This is bigger than daycare. It’s about empowering parents, uplifting communities, and giving every child a safe space to grow.

If you believe in this mission, even $5 helps.

Follow the journey — I’m posting daily on TikTok @MrMcMilly until we make this vision a reality.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we’re changing lives.
