Caring for cousin with Cystic Fibrosis
<p>I am caring for my 5 year old cousin, Jun Bug, who has Cystic Fibrosis, RAD, ADHD and a personality disorder. Her parents passed away when she was only a year old. She spent two years in and out of foster care. I have been struggling to care for her and keep everything in tact. I recently lost my job because I was always having to leave either for her health issues or her mental and behavioral issues. Every day is a huge obstacle. We seem to be quickly falling into debt and losing what I worked so hard for. I want to give Jun a chance in this world, but I can't do it alone.</p>
