Our Story
"Five years ago when my husband Robbie was faced with chemotherapy to treat his leukemia, we realized we needed help with our 2 children. So we sought part time child care. We quickly discovered that 99% of the facilities did not offer flexible child care. Due to the number of medical bills that we amassed, we were not financially capable of sending our youngest to childcare, thus, we were on our own to provide a stable environment for our children as Robbie battled cancer."
"Six months of chemotherapy had physically and mentally devastated Robbie and if it had not been for the support of family and friends I would have been emotionally bankrupt. Throughout it all we did our best to create an emotional safe haven away from Robbie's illness. But just imagine, how our lives would have changed if there had been a "Get A Life..." for my children to experience as a second home and for me to count on for support."
"This experience changed our lives forever. We understood that our struggle need not be repeated by others. Robbie and I pledged to help families experiencing the same physical, financial and emotional hardship we had endured. Our mission was to ensure that families facing chronic or terminal illness did not have to go it alone. Thus, the 'Get A Life... Childcare' was founded."
