[quote=Anonymous]I would donate, unless your income has been reduced because of this. If you're not paying for daycare (we aren't), it's money that's already in your budget. Unemployment may or may not be something they're getting and it doesn't last forever. They may or may not be nannies now, certainly not everyone is able to willing to put their health at risk by working face to face right now.

It's really easy to sit here and find reasons to hold on your money, but the reality is that any of us fortunate enough to pay thousands of dollars a month for daycare are doing better financially than anyone who is providing us childcare. I probably make 3X what anyone caring for my kids makes and I know from the talk here that I'm far from the 1% of this forum. At that point, me hand-wringing about whether they're also getting unemployment or doing better than they usually do is unjustified. They're a part of my community that makes my life possible, I'll be for them when they need me without worrying that maybe they'll do a little better than their usual poverty wages for a month or two.[/quote]
