I am a wonderful single mother of 2 boys, one lives with me. I am from the Chicago area and have lived most of my adult life in the western states. I moved from CO to midcoast Maine 4 years ago. My child at home has special needs and am looking for a new location within the USA for services to assist him. His diagnosis is PDD, Pervasive Development Disorder, one of the spectrum disorders next to Autism.
I am seeking assistance to move and obtain the best schooling services as well as social events for him within a community. We do not have any family that is involved with my child, so it is important that there is a social availablity for myself as a single mother as well.
I am exhausted from handling all of the responsibilites in raising my child alone with no respite time for myself, that we have never had a vacation in the 10 years of his life! Make A Wish Foundation only helps those children with terminal illnesses. There are no organizations that I know of, that helps with children in the spectrum disorder arena.
If anyone knows of a source for any of these requests, please let me know! It has been a long search and I hope that there is someone out there in this world who may be able to help us!
Thank you and God Bless.
