Hi. My name is Theresa. Last spring I lost my full time job. I was in despair, but soon after my niece had her terminally ill son taken from her by Children's Services. I was always taught that everything hsppens for a reason and figured the reason that I lost my job was so that I would be available to take custody of my great-nephew, even though I am already a widowed mother of two girls. Things were going fine and we were managing to scrape by on a shoestring budget and lots of love. Skyler (my sick nephew) required round the clock medical attention and lots of hospital stays, so working at the time wasn't really an option. Some how by the grace of God and support from family and friends we managed. Unfortunately, my land lord decided to sell our home and we were left with no place to go. My parents, being the angels that they are, moved from their home into my sister's and allowed the three children and me to move into their house. I have since aquired home nursing care for my nephew so that I could go back to work, but I had to take a job that pays much less than my previous job. I am trying to go back to school to become a respiratory therapist, but right now finances just don't allow that. Any help anyone would be willing to give would be greatly appreciated. Sometimes I feel like I screwed up all of our lives just by trying to do the right thing.
