“My three children have dealt with a huge amount of change in a short time; their father left for the war and I have returned to the workplace after six years as a stay-at-home mom. Their time at‘Auntie Anna’s’ day care allows me to get to work and bring much needed income to the family. It has also given them stability and added time with a caring adult.”
— Tricia Johnston, Operation Military Child Care participant
