US: For foster parents of disabled children, money stays tight
Philadelphia Tribune – September 27, 2017
Like most parents trying to make ends meet, Vivian Shine-King needs to get creative sometimes. When she has to take her four children to doctor’s appointments, for instance, she’ll make sure multiple kids are booked at the same clinic around the same time, helping her to save on gas and parking. But Shine-King isn’t your average parent. She is foster mother to four disabled children and relies on government money to make sure they get what they need, including – crucially – health care.
