It's been a really long year!

I just realized it's been along a year since I posted anything to my blog. So much has happened and yet still things have remained the same. I am still amidst a huge struggle to get help for Timmy. He's still having a hard time, services for him are not readily available. You see he's a kid that falls into the gap, he's high-functioning with an average IQ however he needs intensive Applied Behavioral Therapy. It's just not easy to get in New Jersey, probably not easy to get anywhere. It's sad to think that these agencies designed to help our children have their hands tied by bureaucracy. We as Americans are reaching out to the people devastated by the earthquake in Haiti yet we don't help our own children. Even I made a donation to help in Haiti, of course that was before I lost my job on Monday along with our medical insurance.

It's been a year, a long long year without progress, without help, with one agency telling me to talk to another agency who tells me to talk to another agency. Now my new job is to find a job along with trying to find help for my little boy before it's too late.
