I have an 8 year old daughter that is mentally ill.  I cannot work as I care for her constantly.  It is not me that is disa led, it is her, however, I am her caretaker.  I have 50,000 in college loans, 20,000 of that is interest.  not only can I not even use my degrees, I cant even work to pay off the loans & it is scaring me and affecting my credit.  Does anyone know what I can do?  Thanks so much for any advice.

I need help with getting a grant or loan to purchase a home.  I have a mentally ill child & I cannot work due to the fact that I have to remain home with her.  We are in an awful area & sometimes she runs outside into the street not knowing to look for cars.  Having my own home at 42 would make me feel a little more hopeful in life, especially if it were in a safer area.  I am desperate.  Any help I would so appreciate it.  Tks.
