Limited Help in Rural Areas
 

My family and I hope that you continue to allow family members to work with disabled children. We live in a rural area that has no nearby access to support services - a problem for our elderly parents and for those of us with disabled children. We frequently have to miss work in order to care for our daughter, leading to our using all of our sick leave from work and still needing to attend to our daughter's needs. The emergency policy of allowing family to work has been a much-needed help. If we had services in our area to provide care for our daughter, we would gladly make use of them; until then, this system is helping us to stay afloat. Thank you.
