"June 2006 I received a referral for the crisis care nursery while living in a Domestic Violence Shelter, Placer County. A social worker gave me the number so that I could have some help with child care for my 3 toddler girls, so that I could look for a job. In doing so the staff at crisis care provided me with a support system of referrals. I finally found a job, and with 'no money' I needed child care. My need for support felt overwhelming. Once again the crisis care nursery assisted me in watching my 3 toddlers so I could go to work. They kept my confidentiality. At this time in my career I was vulnerable, insecure, scared. I had no family support, community support accept crisis care nursery.

Please if your safety is at risk, your needing recovery, you need a break respite care, sleep, time to organize your life in a crisis, please call crisis care nursery."

"I got sick and didn't have any help. My mom can only take the kids for a couple of hours at a time, so I was really frantic. My doctor told me about KARE, and they jumped right in and kept my kids safe so I had time to take care of myself and recover without worry."

"I was able to make a lot of progress at Hope House because I didn't have to worry about my little girl at KARE and could concentrate on getting better."
