Kelly Barber: How ChildCareGroup Changed a Mother’s Life
Kelly Barber moved to Dallas from Michigan as a single mother, facing significant hardships. Struggling to pay bills and provide childcare for her 4-year-old Kingston, she found herself homeless. Everything changed when she discovered ChildCareGroup and the vital resources offered by WFSDallas. Through their support, she received a one year grant that fully covered her child’s childcare expenses, providing the stability she needed.
The support allowed Kelly to not only stay afloat but to thrive in her career with the Child Care Group. She is now a Professional Development System Supervisor and is dedicated to help others access the same resources that empowered her to rebuild her life.
Reflecting on the impact WFSDallas and ChildCareGroup had in her life she states, “They’ve given me the greatest gift and that is the opportunity to create a better life for Kingston and others through my profession.”
