What if this were you?


Single mom, just moved to St. Cloud with two young children.  Newly divorced – finding a new life.  Working and have a small apartment – just making bills meet.
Gall bladder attack!  Lots of pain.  Noone to care for my children. Need to go to emergency room.  Doctor says I need surgery.
What do I do? Who will care for my children?
We are fortunate there is a local answer.  St. Cloud Area Crisis Nursery, a service of Lutheran Social Service supported by United Way.
Crisis Nursery’s top priority is the children – their safety and care.  They can provide temporary overnight care, if needed, through licensed providers.
They help in even tougher situations when a parent is at their wits end, concerned they may even harm or neglect their child.   Temporary child care in this situation allows the parent time to see the help them need to get stabilized.
Conni Orth and trained volunteers make this service available in our area 24/7.  If you ever wonder if volunteers make a difference, this United Way supported service is proof!
