I am a full time student desperately trying to get my degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I work while attending school, just to make ends meet. I can't afford health insurance and I have thousands of dollars of dental work that needs to be done, including a cavity in my front tooth that makes me incredibly embarassed to smile. To make matters worse, I have a deathly fear dentist. My parents stopped taking me when I was 7 and had a panic attack in the chair and I was injured and the dentist yelled at me. I was sexually abused for 9 years and I believe that I experience flashbacks while in the dental chair. The last dentist I went to asked me to leave because my tears were making him nervous. I am a completely normal person in my real life, but the dentist just truly scares me. I have dreams of going into politics and non profit work to change public education, yet I can't do that without being able to show the smile I rely on. I am asking for any help or guidance that can help me to get over my fear and make me smile again.

I am Minority female seeking financial assistance to go back to school to obtain a degree in Early Childhood development as well a grant to open up a daycare facility in my urban neighborhood. Having 2 children of my own I know what it means to be able to find affordable and trustworthy childcare. After being employed for 6 years at the same company I have come to the realization that there has to be something more for me that is more rewarding than that place. I have always loved working with children. There's so much that they can teach us as adults. My kids teach me something new almost daily. I have worked at a couple of daycare facilities including a child abuse treatment facility, and have learned how easily impressionable their minds are.......if I could just be that one person that a parent could rely on and have peace of mind that their child is safe and being well taken care of then I think that would be spiritually rewarding for me.

For instance, the links in the next section will take you to pages where there are many federal programs you can apply for in search for grants, loans, or other form of assistance for your learning tool.
