WIGGINS, Miss. (AP) - A Stone County after-school program is turning to the community for help so children won't have to go home to an empty house.
When Stone Success launched in 2001, it was free. Over the years, officials have asked parents to start paying tuition.
This year the cost for one child jumped from $50 to $65 a month.
Officials tell WLOX-TV in Biloxi (

Officials hope to create a scholarship program for low income families in need of after-school care.
Stone Success is located at the Stone Middle School campus.
