When Cindy Dawkins, a single mother in Florida, died of Covid in August, leaving behind four children, no one from the hospital or the city called, her kids said. They wouldn’t have known what to do if it weren’t for a family friend. #NBCNewsThread (1/8) nbcnews.com/news/us-news/2…
“You’re not talking about adults that are losing someone,” Dawkins’ oldest child, Jenny Burrows, says. “You’re talking about kids who don’t know how to navigate through the world, yet they lost the person, or one of the people, that are meant to help them.” (2/8)
Two years into the pandemic, the number of children who have lost a parent or other in-home caregiver to Covid across the U.S. is estimated to exceed 200,000, and families and child advocates say identifying and assisting these kids should be a priority. (3/8)

A tornado that cut a 10-mile path through Jefferson County, Alabama, on Jan. 25, 2021, destroyed 86 homes and severely damaged 45 more, devastating the suburb of Fultondale.

“Our town got demolished,” Mayor Larry Holcomb said. “I mean, completely destroyed.” Image
FEMA estimated the cost to support those without insurance in finding temporary shelter and beginning to rebuild their homes would top $1.8M.

But the federal government denied Jefferson County’s request for aid, saying the tornado did not cause enough damage to require help.

“I don’t think we’re doing enough.”

@HenryJGomez reports from Ohio: nbcnews.to/3i4J2yX

#NBCNewsThreads
@HenryJGomez “Ask the public what they are willing to sacrifice,” an unemployed caregiver said while waiting for GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance to hold a campaign event.

“I pray every day to St. Nicholas to save the children in Ukraine who are in danger.”
@HenryJGomez “It’s not going to cripple us,” a retired cardiac technician said of the higher gas prices likely to result from the Russian oil ban, speaking after Vance finished a town hall.

“I invest in things that are important to me.”
