As many families continue to suffer through the economic recession, the Massachusetts town of Westboro is finding that the demand for services at their youth and family services department has grown.
Services include counseling to the town's low-income and at-risk population, which many people have been seeking to help them deal with stress in the family, often due to financial reasons. The department has a small budget and strongly relies on donations. This high demand has led them to consider charging a fee, such as $20 per session, but the majority of people who use the services could not afford this and would not be charged anyways.
