Hello, my name is Linda and I’m a single mom of a 19- and 11-year-olds. Twelve years ago I made a big transition and moved to another state with my then-seven-year-old and pregnant with my youngest child. I moved because they put me on bed rest and I was extremely stressed out and was at risk of a miscarriage. It was difficult being in a new state with no family, but I made good use of my time at home and started to take my prerequisites toward my degree. During that time finances were rough, but I kept my faith and knew my children and I would be ok.
Fast forward to now, my oldest attends one of the country’s top universities, so you know it is pretty costly. She’s in her second year and will continue until she can become a defense attorney. I’m really proud of her and will do anything I can so she can live her dream.
My youngest is in his first year in middle school and when he was 5 or 6 I noticed he was having difficulties with reading and had him evaluated for Dyslexia. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with it and it has been a struggle. Anyone that knows about this learning diability knows that depending on the severity it’s really difficult for these little ones to learn how to read, but by the grace of GOD someone was placed in life and just so happens her best friend is a reading teacher and tutors students with Dyslexia. She was a blessing sent because IEP and myself just wasn’t enough for him. Since he started tutoring we have seen some improvements, but he has a long way to go until he reaches his grade level . Im asking for help due to my oldest tuition that’s not covered by aide, tutoring being $630 every three months, and food being soo expensive
I am extremely grateful for any amount that can be donated.
