46 Year Old Grandmother Seeks Grant Money For Return To School

I am a 48-year-old woman who has had countless surgeries. I'm now looking for grant money to allow me to go back to school.

Every time I have tried to improve myself I have had to have another surgery, starting from when I was 19 till just a few months ago.

I have had kidney surgery, stroke, brain surgery, and three surgeries on my stomach. I also have Epilepsy.

I've been bitten by spiders on my arm, which took part of my left arm. I also have Lupus. My last surgery was for cancer on my left eye.

I do get SSI, but that is not enough for me to afford school. I have a daughter who has managed to get her Masters.

My grandson is two. I want to show him that nothing is impossible as long as we keep trying.

I think that me going back to school and getting a degree will show him that if I can do it, anyone can!!!

I want to be that positive person who shows him he can do it too!!! We all need to be positive influence.
