I am just trying to raise two of my own daughters and help out my terminally ill great-nephew and my niece at the same time. I took custody of Skyler last year when he was taken from my niece by the local CYS. Skyler suffers from SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) Type 1. He truely is one of God's sweetest angels. We are so grateful for every day that we have with him. He just celebrated his second birthday in June, which is a small miracle in itself since most SMA babies don't live to be one. My niece has worked so hard to get her life back on track and be a good mother for Skyler, but needed a little more help, so I also moved her in with me. I do work full time and would love to go back to school to become a respiratory therapist which would benefit Skyler as well as myself and my daughters. Just trying to find the funds is very difficult. I iwould like to cut back to part time work so that I could go back to school and have time to spend with the kids (because they are my life), but there is no way we could get by on a part time income. I guess I'm just looking for a litle advice and a lot of prayers.
