I was a child resident of Bethany children's home ...

I was a child resident of Bethany children's home in the early 80's. It was a great opportunity for me, I was just young & dumb and didn't appreciate what bethanys children home offered me. I was emancipation at age 16 , moved away from Pennsylvania. I moved to Georgia. At age 20 I bought my 1st and only home, it's now mortgage free. I am 52 yrs old now. My 2children are 32& 25. I read the recent reviews about Bethany from children & staff.
I would luv to teach these children my experiences. Positive role model. But moving back to Pennsylvania from Georgia ( no snow!!)
The desk clerk at a truck stop makes $13 an hour in Georgia, and to come to Pennsylvania and work with youth for $14.., the math doesn't add up. The cooks at Bethany children's home, make more money than the employees taking daily care of the precious children, they have more influence on them mentally & physically.
They should be paid much more.. under valued & under appreciated. It wasn't a non profit organization when I lived there, it was state run facility. Maybe that makes all the difference?
