An elderly woman arrived at Caring Children, Clothing Children, distraught. She had just received custody of her granddaughter, who had special needs due to her mother’s drug addiction during pregnancy. The grandmother quit her job to care for the little girl and had limited resources. To her great relief, 4Cs was able supply the child with clothing, books and other necessary personal items.
