Single Mother of Autistic Boy Seeks Housing Grant Money For Better Home

by Tanis
(Maryland, USA)

Hello everyone. My name is Tanis Johnson and I'm a single mother of two. One is a 12-year-old boy who was diagnosed at the age of 2 years old with autism.

At first I thought it would be too much of a challenge for me but God gave me the strength.

Then 9 years later I gave birth to a healthy baby girl who is now 3 and doesn't understand what goes on with her brother when he flaps his hands, hums and becomes emotional at times for no apparent reason.

I have tried for several years to seek and find resources in my state, but there seems to be nothing.

I've been trying to figure out how to get some form of funding just to give my son some better living arrangements so he will feel safe and comfortable.

Where we live now we have no backyard and not too many places to go where he is not stared at or teased. And I know that's due to other people not having the knowledge or education of what autism is.

I just want him to be happy safe and comfortable. Thanks for listening.
