I have a friend whose children I watched for almost two years...she was a single mom and didn't make more than $12/hr so I understood going into it that agreement that she would be a risk. Her children were actually my first kids in the center so I grew rather attached to them. We had an agreement due to the fact that she had a hard time keeping rent/food/etc that she wouldn't have to make her co-payment until the end of the year with her income tax return. The first year, she kept her word and paid the $2500 she owed in co-payments. The second year, she just disappeared. I know this woman is not a scam artist and she's a good person, just in a very difficult situation. She had no support from any family and in alot of ways reminded me of myself. I tried to call her once, just to let her know not to worry about the money, but that I still wanted to see the kids, but she didn't answer and didn't return my call. Do you think she feels guilty and thats why she ran?

You are a very nice lady!
And I'm sure she feels very guilty. I wouldn't call her a dead beat like others here have. Yes, she should have given you a call but I'll bet the woman is overwhelmed with her difficult life.
Again, you have a wonderful heart.

Probably all of it.
I had some "gift scholarship" for "Parsi Public School Society." but when I was monetarily comfortable. I did send the money back + some so that, they will have more funds to give out to people like me.
This is unusual I do not think that particular scholarship fund receive back any gift, so far but then every one is different, this was my Individual way to say not only thank you but I thought it would help one more student to achieve education.
I wish more reciepient would return the scholaships so we have more fund to educate people.

Yes, she probably feels guilty... and ought to because she didn't even give you the courtesy of a phone call, or an explanation.
I wouldn't bother with her, but im sure you do miss the kids.
take care.

See feels guilty for sure and feels she has lost face.
If your not worried let it go , leave a message for her to let her know how you feel. that's about all you can do.
You sound like a nice person , I wish you well

Yes. She is a dead beat and ungrateful too. You are better off without a friend like that.
