In 2024, Hurricane Helene struck Western North Carolina, destroying homes and community infrastructure and disrupting care for young children and their families. This film tells the story of how home-based child care providers and families were affected and how trusted local partners, including the Family Child Care and Center Enrichment Foundation (FCCEF), stepped in to help.
As a partner in the Home Grown Emergency Fund for Severe Weather and National Disasters, FCCEF helped home-based child care providers access direct cash support alongside many other resources providers needed to respond and recover.
This documentary calls on leaders and policymakers to recognize the vital role of home-based child care and prioritize providers in emergency preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
