I recently talked to advocates who are casting a wide net for new support. Kimberly ali hi, im good, how are you doing . George for kimberly ali, these office hallways are the frontlines of her departments newest battle, the battle to recruit a new generation of foster parents. Kimberly we just need the help. We need the help, our young people need the help. George alis team is responsible for every step in the foster care process for 5,000 plus philly kids. The work has changed dramatically in recent years. After the child sex abuse case of jerry sandusky, state laws were tightened and the number of calls to alis child abuse hotline sky rocketed. Kimberly we used to have about 21,000 calls to our hotline. Now, were up to 34,000 calls. George not all of those calls end up with a child in foster care, but when the

And lots of sunshine toward Ashtabula County. The clouds there rolling in and look at the left of the screen. Yesterday morning when i was showing you the shot, that was a big pile of snow that has shrunk due to temperatures on the warm side for the start of your weekend.

Nearly 10 million americans said theyre out of work. That is more jobs loss in the last two weeks than in the Great Recession. And if you think that is the bottom, well, think again.

And the virus is nowhere near contained. We still dont have enough tests, doctors and nurses still dont have enough ppe and theres not enough medical equipment or space for the patients in need.
