Flores, Dora <br />From: Emily Roberts < <br />Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2024 11:48 AM <br />To: eComment; Flores, David <br />Subject: funding for programs that support child care <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Santa Ana City Council, <br />As a parent navigating the challenges of finding quality childcare in our city, I am disappointed by the lack of <br />resources available. <br />Apparently I make too much money for many assistance resources, yet I do not make enough money to afford <br />the high cost of childcare on my own. How can this be? <br />It is discouraging to see the struggles faced by childcare providers and families due to the limited options and <br />funding support for these small businesses. <br />I understand the City Council had an opportunity to provide economic development support to the childcare <br />sector, yet this opportunity was not seized. The root of a successful community is in the effort and care it shows <br />to the children. <br />Please think about the impact of this decision on our children and the working families they come from! <br />Do better, City Council. <br />Sincerely, <br />Emily Roberts <br />
