I lost my husband in May, I have a posting listed widow at 28 on board, and I have 2 small children. I ahve no idea where you live but i thought I could give you some advice. I am a child abuse investigator for CPS here in SAcramento. We ahev volunteers through CASA. you may want to see if there is a CASA in your area, you could check with the Dependency courts. Another idea is to go to the schools and let it be known what you would like to offer as a service, also try Foster Family Associations. All of these things are options. Helping others will also help you, I know. I am a survivor of numerous things including physical and sexual abuse and I volunteer. Let me know if I can be of any more assistance. Good luck.
