I am a single stay at home mother of two. A girl 5 and a boy 2. The week before Thanksgiving i was forced to move out of my parents house for unsafe reasons. I was taking care of my father who has mesothelioma and the medications he is on has made him erratic and unsafe to live with. I left with nothing and we have been staying in a one room no kitchen motel. Getting through the holdiays is really hard when you have absolutely nothing. I am looking for any help or advice. I would like to give my children a christmas this year, but so far have nothing. I plan on working and getting out of this mess after the holidays. Thank you for reading and GOD BLESS!!!! We hope to hear from an "angel" soon.
You know what. teeth or no teeth don't let the world pass you by. You only get one chance in life and you found the one person who loves you the most. No need to impress any one else. Please from the bottom of my heart go out and enjoy your life. Were not all perfect but we all need to enjoy life. Also remember this when you came into this world you had no teeth and every one loved you. Now that your older, every one still loves you. You just get a bigger smile with no teeth in the way.

The Department of Human Services can help eligible working families pay for child care. You do not have to participate in the RI Works Program to qualify for child care assistance.
Eligibility
To be eligible to receive child care assistance, families must meet income requirements. The number of hours that a parent works or is participating in a work activity, approved training or education program are also factors. Depending on a family's income, they may have to pay a co-payment. The amount of the co-payment depends on a family's income. See Family Income and Co-Payment Guidelines for the Child Care Assistance Program.
For parents that participate in the Rhode Island Works Program, there is no income limit for child care because if a family is eligible for RI Works, they would meet the income requirements for the Child Care Assistance Program.
Choosing a Child Care Provider
Parents can choose their child care provider and may use more than one provider to meet their child care needs. Options for child care include:
* a licensed child care center or after-school program;
* a licensed family child care provider;
* a certified non-licensed day care providers (this option must be approved by DHS' Office of Child Care) or
* care in the child's home by an approved provider.
For More Information
For information on choosing quality care for your child, or for a listing of licensed or certified childcare providers near your home or work, please call Options for Working Families at (401) 946-2300 or 1-800-516-2055 or go to Options for Working Families.
