[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an emergency contact for a military family in my neighborhood whose kids were the same age as mine. The DH was deployed and the DW had a medical emergency. No one picked the kids up from after school care so I was called to get them.

The kids were worried/confused but fine coming to our house. I called the mom when we got home and hospital staff answered the phone. I didn't get details about her condition but assured them the kids were safe with us. A social worker later came to the house to speak with us and the kids. The social worker determined the kids were best served staying with us.

I informed the school counselors what was going on. We were later called by the DH and someone from military family services. We got more info about the DW and took the kids to see her. The kids stayed with us for 3 nights until their father got home. They stayed with him at night but came to our house after school for about 6 weeks. They also had the occasional night at our house.[/quote]

This is such a heartwarming story. Please be on the news. [/quote]
