Single mother says she will likely ask her 14-year-old to drop sports and work to watch his little brother

More than 20 states filed a lawsuit against the administration of President Donald Trump on Monday on billions of dollars in financing frozen education for post -school care, summer and more programs.
Some of the funds are held after school and summer in boys and girls clubs, the Association of Christian Youth or Public Schools, which was attended by 1.4 million children and adolescents in the country. congress has put money for programs to provide academic support, enrichment and child care for families often low income. But the Trump administration recently frozen funding, saying it wanted to ensure programs compatible with the priorities of the Republican President.
Under the leadership of California, the lawsuit claims that blocking funds violates the constitution and many federal laws. Many low -income families will lose access to post -school programs if the money is not issued soon, according to the lawsuit. In some states, restart the school in late July and early August. The Ministry of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Post -school programs to fall into danger
Darlin Reyes traveled through rain last week to transport her son to the camp of the boys’ club and girls in East Provence, Road Island. She told the camp managers that the flood warning would have kept her away, but her son insisted on going.
Before kissing his mother bye, Eden Kazares, 8 years old, explained to a reporter, “I wanted to see my friends and not just sit at home.” Then he escaped to play.
In Rod Island, the state intervened with funding to maintain summer programs, according to East Provence, and the state joined the federal lawsuit. Sara Lyotzinger, Vice President of Communications for Boys and Girls Club, said that the clubs of boys and other girls who support the grants have found ways to open their summer programs. But there is no same hope for post -school programming to fall.
Lutzzinger said that some of the 926 boys’ clubs and girls are clubs throughout the country that runs the summer and post -school programs. Clubs receive funding from the community learning centers program in the twenty -first century.
YMCA and children’s rescue says many of the centers they run are also at risk of closing.
“The school will begin as soon as the school begins. “It has not been too late to make a decision, so children who need this really still have them.”
Rural and Republican areas are especially affected
Schools are affected in the regions that are particularly led by Republicans by freezing in granting federal education. Ninety -one of the 100 school regions receive the largest number of funds for each of the four freezing programs located in the Republican Congress, according to the analysis of New America, a left -wing research tank. The new America’s analysis used the amount of funding reported in 2022 in 46 states.
Republican officials were among the teachers who criticize the freezing of the grant.
“I strongly believe in financial responsibility, which means assessing the use of funds and searching for efficiency, but also means that you are responsible – to issue the money that Congress has already agreed and signed by President Trump,” said Richard Woods, a elected Republican. “In Georgia, we are preparing to start the school year, so I invite federal funds to issue it so that we can ensure the success of our students.”
The Administration and Budget Office said that some grants supported from left -wing causes, referring to services for immigrants in the country illegally or LGBTQ+.
Morris Mu, a democratic supervisor in North Carolina, said that the allocation of Congress for money was on a bill signed by Trump himself. “For some reason, this money in some way or another needs to be reviewed because of the agenda of someone, I think it is very worrying,” Green told reporters on Monday after joining North Carolina.
In North Carolina, there are already about 40 schools in the session, so the state is already trying to discover ways to maintain programs ongoing, using the state and local funds, along with some federal funds that have not ended in its expiration.
Jeff Jackson, the public prosecutor in North Carolina, said that freezing affects programs including mental health services, science and mathematics education, and support for students who learn English. Jackson said that freezing could also be demobilized about 1,000 teachers and employees.
Summer clubs provide for children
In the East Providence Summer camp, Aiden, a third -grade student, TAG, played brown structure with magnetic tiles, she played a fast -packed game with other children to review the addition and subtraction, learn about pollination, watched a natural video clip and ate chicken nuggets presented by the club.
The veteran teachers from his school corrected him when he spoke without raising his hand and gave advice from shipping when a boy in his group said something inappropriate.
“When someone says something inappropriate, you do not repeat that,” told teacher Kayla Creton the boys between answering their questions about horses and honey bees.
In fact, it is difficult to find an organization on the road in this country more than the boys and girls club.
Only last month, my Republic and Democrat sponsored a decision in the US House of Representatives celebrating the 165 -year -old organization as a “lighthouse of hope and opportunity”. The Ministry of Defense granted the club $ 3 million in 1991 to support the children who left behind when their parents spread in the Persian Gulf. Since then, Boys & Girls Club has created clubs on military installations to support the children of service members. Military families can participate in their children for free.
Mike Petrill, head of the Thomas B. Institute, said. Fordham, a research center in the field of conservative education, talks about a review of the Trump administration for granting the community learning center in the twenty -first century: “I think they will realize that most of these grants are fine and will launch it.”
But not everyone is sure.
Families see a few alternatives to childcare at reasonable prices
Eden’s mother started looking at the care of children in the afternoon in September when children returned to school in Rod Island.
“It costs $ 220 a week,” Reyes said, her eyes are expanding. “I can’t bear it.”
The single mother and state worker said that she would ask her 14 -year -old son to stay at home and watch Aiden. This means that he will have to give up a job when he is 15 years old in the fall and he could not play basketball and football.
“I have no other option,” she said.
At home, Aiden is likely to stay inside on the screen. Reyes said that it would be heartbreaking because it has flourished to obtain lessons and “learn about health limits” from the boys and girls club program.
Fernandi Berard learned to freeze the potential financing and closure from a reporter after being dropped from the three young boys in the summer camp. The nurse said, “I will really be destroyed if this goes,” the nurse said. “I honestly don’t know what to do.”
Her husband Uber leads a lot from today, and children are taken early in his profits. It is money that need to pay the mortgage and everything else.
If its president agrees, it is possible that it will take her children from school and transfer them to the rehabilitation center where it supervises a team of nurses. Children will have to stay until the day of her working day ends.
“It is difficult to imagine,” she said.
