In 2016, there were 5,190 fatal occupational injuries in this country according to the U.S. Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. While it is unknown how many children were affected nationwide, 2,958 of the U.S. fatalities were workers between the ages of 20 and 55 - the prime years of parenthood. Children of these workers will no longer be able to count on the income of the injured or killed parent. Accompanying the grief of loss, or the need to care for an injured parent, is the increased likelihood that these children cannot afford a college education. Here in Tennessee, Kids’ Chance helps them.
