How Debbi Harris’s family was saved by the Family and Medical Leave Act.
Debbi Harris’s son was born with health defects which required Debbi to stay home and take care of him. Although, she had complications with getting time off and fearing of losing her job, just as other employers did, before the Family and Medical Leave Act was passed. So, when Debbi found out about the Family and Medical Leave Act she realized that this act could save her sons and families lives because they didn’t have to worry about losing their jobs or not being able to pay for medical treatments.
“Josh was born in January of 1993, about 8 weeks before he was due. Complications immediately prior to and during labor led to an emergency C-section. With my husband Victor by my side, we learned upon his delivery that Josh had experienced a grade IV brain hemorrhage in utero, and had suffered from anoxia and hydrocephalus at birth as a result” … “Without the protections offered by the FMLA, I cannot say whether Josh would still be with us – which is why I am grateful for the protections it offered us and why I will continue to speak out in support of its policies. As I reflect on our experience in fighting for leave in the months and years after Josh’s birth, I cannot help but think of how different our situation would have been if we were allowed paid family leave. The FMLA gives families like ours a chance to take care of their loved ones without bearing the repercussions of losing out on employment or health insurance” (Harris).
