Imagine the financial duress of having to leave your work for days, weeks, and sometimes even for months, while you help your child fight through his or her illness or injury, and heal.
Imagine the “roller coaster of emotions” each day as you watch your child’s health take two steps forward and then one step back on his or her road to recovery.
