More News....

Well this has been a big week for Karter! I have been trying all day to get time to post this.

I got a call a few hours ago from Variety Children's Charities. Her words were "I have news for you. Some of it is good and some might not be what you expected". She proceeded to tell me that VCC does not provide money towards Child Care expenses(Karter's one-to-one support worker would be considered an expense). However, they do provide bursaries for school.

Because of the importance that preschool provides for Karter's development, they have agreed to give Sunbeam Preschool a bursary on Karter's behalf that can be put towards those fees for support. We had asked for $3636 and they have provided $2500 for him.

She said that all the work I did to contact the MLA and community resources and in process, kept her in the loop on all of those emails and phone calls, she realized how important it was for Karter to go. In addition to their feelings about the importance, the fact that we did take the initiative to seek out that funding anyway we could, weighed heavily in out favor.

So Praise The Lord, Karter is going to preschool! Although we will still need to find some additional funding for the remainder of the year, Karter will start in September and we will not need to concern ourselves with it again until well into the New Year.

Thanks for your prayers, God has not yet let us down. He is SO good!!!
