[blparent] My story and request for help

[Pipi]

Bridgit,
I have not spoken to Colorado's NFB. I have attempted to speak to Kansas 
NFB with no success thus far.
The problem is paying for childcare. I have spent more hours than I can 
count researching centers, public preschool, state assistance. I have 
narrowed the child care centers down to under 10 possibilities. 
Childcare is expensive. It ranges $200 to $400 more a month in Colorado 
than it is here in Kansas.
I do not qualify for state assistance through Colorado because I am a 
Kansas resident. Kansas does not pay for out of state assistance for 
child care.
I have to be a resident of Kansas in order for Voc Rehab to pay for the 
training center.
I don't have the skills needed to safely up and move to Colorado to 
establish residency there before I attend the center.
I hope I have made things a bit clearer.  I'm not the greatest at 
writing and I have tried to prevent myself from writing a novel.
