The proposed Indiana State Senate Budget provides insufficient funding for child care subsidies. The cost of child care can equate to 41% of a single parent's income in Indiana.* Now, lawmakers are making it harder for lower income families to receive a child care voucher, which is bad for our economy.

We have not given up our dream of opening a museum but life has taken over for a while and our priorities have been on our families and jobs. We are hesitant to look for interior rooms display help until we have found the perfect place we can afford to have the museum. All of the buildings we have seen so far require more work than we can afford or they lack something necessary- such as enough room for a parking lot. We will continue to search and will let you know when we have found something so we can take the next steps. Thank you all for your support!
