School and Living Expenses

During my final semester ot graduate school,  my mother passed away very unexpectedly and I received custody of my 3 (now 5) year old niece. There were extreme court and travel costs. We are still recovering from that time and I am working towards gaining financial stability. 

I am rasing my niece as  a single parent with very little outside finaicial support. I am currently working 2 jobs. All funds are put towards our living expenses and legal fees. 

My niece is an extremely bright and inquisitive child. She enjoys taking swim lessons and other classes at out local YMCA. We attend family storytime at our local library and she loves to read! She also enjoys art projects and playing at the park. When she came to me, I had nothing needed to care for a preschool child. I am still working to gather needed things as I am able. 

I would be glad to discuss our needs on an indivivual basis. Due to the extemely senstive nature of the issues surrounding a minor child, I am limited in the information that I am able to disclose. 

Some of our on-going monthly expenses include:

Specific medical-related expenses 
Rent 
Utilities 
Membership to YMCA 
Misc. School Expenses (yearbook, field trips, special activites, etc.)
Clothing 
Gasoline
