More than a third of D.C.’s child-care workers live in poverty. New city-funded bonuses are part of an innovative plan to raise their pay.
“We’re here,” she said.The pumpkin patch was packed with school groups wearing matching T-shirts. Marshall knew neither her staff nor her clients could afford an extra outing, so she paid for everyone’s tickets. The bill came to $135.
While she waited, she checked her phone. One of the kids’ parents had written to say they couldn’t afford diapers for the next week and a half, and they wondered if Marshall would give them some. She didn’t have the money to spare, but she texted to say she’d send the child home with a package that night.
As of late December, D.C. officials had approved roughly 75 percent of the 4,200 applications it received for the first round, a sum that totaled nearly $38 million, but a small number of cases, including Lindsay’s, remain under appeal.to all child-care workers. That alone would save Marshall money. She’d applied for Medicaid, and she’d won some relief from a hospital foundation, but mostly she covered her cancer treatments and her insulin prescriptions herself.
