Testimonials

I hope we don't need it anymore. But I'm super grateful for the company's help.

I would like to thank CRG for this support, it was very helpful in a limited situation after several months of confinement.

Very nice you are giving this kind of support.

It gave me nice financial support for paying summer kindergartens for my 2 kids. In this period of Covid19-pandemia this support I really appreciate when during the summer my partner and I were constantly working.

We were able to pay for someone to take care of the kids, at least for some hours per day to be able to work.

It allowed me to find a specialized babysitter part time for the days I came to work.

We used the grant to pay a summer camp for the girls. This was very helpful! Thanks.

We could hire an au-pair to attend the children some hours per day. This favors my attendance to CRG several days per week and teleworking without  constant interruptions.

The grant allowed me to come back to the lab while my son was either attending a Casal or with a babysitter as it covered the expenses for both of them, otherwise it would not be possible for me to pay for them.

It allowed me to work by taking my son to a "casal d'estiu"
