Employees Donate to Help Their Clients in Time of Need

(Austin, Texas) Employees and vendors of Supportkids, the nation's largest private child support collection agency, are donating money to two of their client families who were most impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Both families are from the New Orleans area. A total of $2,500 has been collected by Supportkids employees and will be distributed to the two families. The families were told about the donations in phone calls and reacted with surprise and excitement to the news.

"Our clients, who are living without the child support that they need to provide for their children on a day-to-day basis, are already stretched to the limit financially," Vanessa Diaz, vice president of Supportkids, said. "The dire circumstances that they find themselves in following Hurricane Katrina just compound their already-difficult situation. Our employees are pleased to provide some help during this difficult time."

One of the families recently returned to their damaged home in New Orleans. The single mother is facing the task of rebuilding her livelihood in order to care for her four minor children. The other family, including a single mother with two children, is from Reserve, LA, but is staying in La Place, LA. This family lost all of their belongings and their home has no roof or electricity. They are not sure when they will be able to return.
