I'm sorry that CPS has stepped in and is fighting you about your son...that should not be happening and I am sorry it has to happen to you...

Do you have SSDI or SSI? Do you receive food stamps from your local Health and Human Resource center?

I have MS...Degenerative Disc Disease with spinal stenosis and bone spurs on my spinal canal...and I have a 15 year old daughter who helps me out when I can't do things...and I also have a foster daughter...so it IS possible to have children and have MS...if that weren't the case, I would not have my daughter or my foster daughter...

I have an electric wheelchair to help me go places...and other devices that help make my life a little easier...

I understand that it is difficult to say the least, but there are places that you can go to live...that rent is only 1/3 of your monthly income, and there are alternatives to CPS getting involved, like you said, you just asked for assistance...there is home health care that can come in and do as much as you may need them to do, or as little as you want...they also have places that have two bedrooms that will accomodate your needs...

I hope you try to find out about disability payments, because you are entitled to them, even if you haven't worked...and then you would get money from SSI for your son...and then you could get medicaid as well as medicare (after 24 months), and food stamps...if you need help, call the United Way in your city and they can help you...if you need a home right away you can find one by calling Salvation Army, they too can help you...so there ARE resources available for you...

if you want to know more, let me know where you live and I will find the places you can contact to help you get an apartment...I hope that you find what you need and can get some relief really fast...

I will be praying for you...and for your needs...
