I'm a59 year old woman living in Colorado,mylife has been caotic to say the least.In 2015 I broke free of the violence and became an independent woman.I rented a small house and started living..I was very happyand by the  grace of God took care of myself living on a fixed income I had to skimp and save butI did it.Seven months later my God daughter came to me with her fivey ear old son and wanted to get clean off drugs.I wanted to help her so I said ok.They came here and she got clean, in October went to visit a friend in Mexico and left the little one with me. Her plans were to come back to Colorado and get a life so she could raise her children, that's not what happened. Instead of coming back to her son she decided she had been sober long enough she got on the bus and went right through Colorado back to her home state to get high. I wasn't happy but at least she left the boy with me. We didn't here from her for months. In April of 2017 she called me again said she was sorry and could she come back and try again of course for this little boy I said of course, well she came back yet with another son which was alright because the brothers could be together which they had not been before. She was with me until June when all of a sudden she up and left me with both boys. It was very hard on me in the beginning because I have so little money. I was very angry for a while until I realized that she had done this knowing that I would find a way to take care of these boys and I did. Well here is where it gets tough I got guardianship of both boys, but the owner of my rental that I have been in for three years passed away, she was working with me on buying the house. She had no living relatives so the property went to the state it will be auctioned of on February20th and I don't have a plan B . I just don't want to loose these little boys they have finally been secure and safe in the same place for 2 and three years. Their school is going great the oldest is adhd  and he has finally gotten the help he needs in a consistent manor. I'm not really one to beg but for these two little ones I will. Please help.
