[blparent] Long overdue update and request for help?

[Veronica Smith]

I am so proud of you!  I also have RP.  Check with the RP foundation, they
are always anxious to give scholarships to peeps going to school, maybe the
Center counts as school.  It's worth a try anyway!

Sure I can explain. I have RP. I have lost a significant amount of my vision
recently. I'm at a point where I am no longer able to rely on my vision, yet
I lack confidence in being a blind person. My job is a dead end job as in
I'm a live in Nanny. The kids I currently care for are reaching an age where
they no longer require care. So while I could stay ehre and hold out with
this job for another year maybe 2, then I'm 
unemployed,    CCB without messing with her schooling.
So yes, I will be leaving my jjob to go to CCB PipiOn 9/18/2012 1:50 PM,

check my email and get caught up again.
>> I've switched from a desktop to a laptop and from win xp to win 7 so i've
not been able to read my emails and such for the past 2 months. I was
stressed enough transitioning that I just did a mass delete here. I hope
that I haven['t missed too much.
>> Savannah and I had a wonderful summer. We spent a week in San Diego which
is an absolutely beautiful place. I'd love to live there. Savannah started
swim lessons this summer and passed level 1. We also took our first train
ride to visit friends in Illinois. We had such a great time that we ended up
extending our trip and stayed just shy of 3 weeks. We will also be going
back for Halloween. It was a much needed trip and break from reality.
>> Savannah has started preschool. She loves it. It is great to see her
thriving and getting the social interaction that she has needed.
>> I am working on attending the Colorado Center for the Blind. I have a
tentative start date of January. I'm currently struggling to find affordable
preschool or daycare with a preschool curriculum for Savannah. I will be
leaving my job behind for the 6 to 9 months that I will be at the center so
I am unable to afford the going rates.
>> Does anyone know of any scholarships, financial aid, or resources for
paying for a safe and healthy place for Savannah to be while I get the
training that I need?
>> I've considered trying to start fund raising myself by selling bottled
water or such outside of Walmart and the likes. The average cost of
preschool or daycare in Littleton is $900 a month.
>> Any help y'all could give me would be so greatly appreciated.
>> I hope all are well and I can't wait to catch up with people again.
>> Oh also, if I had your contact information before, can you please send it
to me off list at blahblahblah at iampipi.com I've lost everything in my
computer transition.
>> Thanks again,
