This group was started by a generous benefactor who provided the funds to get the organization set up as a charitable organization and hire some administrative staff. The concept is to provide immediate help, education, and emotional support when people encounter conflicts between their jobs and their lives.
Some examples of these conflicts are:
You need to take a family member to a doctor's appointment and the company won't give you the time off.
We can possibly take the family member for you, help you reschedule the appointment, or intervene on your behalf with your employer.
Your daycare just called and they are closing. You have to report to work in an hour and cannot be late or you will be fired. We can arrange emergency daycare for you and help you find another daycare provider for your three children.
