Diaper subsidy cut tests Kansas family’s finances
The Vesecky family, one of 513 Kansas households receiving the diaper subsidy, faces a shaky future as the subsidy is cut. With four children including Ayla, who has a terminal metabolic disorder, mother Joanna notes they cannot afford $150 monthly for diapers and rely on potentially unreliable discount options. State officials cite federal rules and aim to restore the subsidy in the 2004 budget, while urging community partners to help in the interim.
