Donations would go to support charities for #KIDSANDYOUTH

According to government data, the COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of women to either leave their job or cut back hours mostly due to child care issues. Even though no one could have predicted this.

She resigned from her job when her kids were sent home to learn -- and it's a choice many women still face.

“The reasons why I have not gone back is childcare,” says another mom, Mykka Gabriel, “Child care is one of those things where it was expensive before and now it's even more expensive.”
Child care is an issue many in Washington D.C. are focused on. But the immediate focus is to get kids back in school.

“We need to look at how we help with child care in this country. We are one of the few countries in the world that simply doesn't provide any significant government assistance child care,” Senator Sherrod Brown said.

Brown is working with other lawmakers, up against the clock to solve the problem. But can a government program help? A study by the Brookings institution took a look at child care in August of 2020 -- mid-pandemic.
