31 Year Old Woman With Severe Asthma Seeks Government Grant For College

(Florida, USA)
I am a 31-year-old single disabled female. I am a severe asthmatic. I have to take inhalers and pills every day for my asthma. I have to carry an inhaler around with me wherever I go.
It is very hard for me to do things sometimes. I have a 5-year-old son also. I am looking to go back to school in January 2010 for Medical Administration/Management.
I am really looking forward to it, but I really can't afford it. I live off SSI and Child Support. It's very hard. I just want to go to school and finish and get a good paying job so I can take care of my family.
I have had asthma since I was five years old. I've been through a lot in my life. I've had two sinus surgeries also. I used to get three allergy shots every other week for a long time.
It would mean A LOT to me if I didn't have the burden of knowing I have to pay back loans to go to school. I am looking forward to furthering my education, but I need help.
I want to be able to support my son and myself in a much better way. Please help me!
