Advice wanted...our daughter's future?

[Guest guest]

I know this may seem like an odd subject to bring up here, but I believe you

never know where inspiration may strike and someone has that great idea that

you've been looking for. I'm trying to formulate my resolution to provide for

our daughter's future. Our journey through her Autism is making strides. That

said, like most parents of special needs children, I wonder if we will have the

funds to accommodate her needs...and how to provide for her adulthood, if she

still needs assistance. Insurance doesn't cover most of her therapies, and I

don't know if that will change if healthcare reform goes through. Plus I have my

own health issues. I've looked at getting a job at a local retail store, but I

am the primary facilitator/teacher of her Son-Rise Program, so I just can't

justify the time away from her. So, I'm trying to think of a business that I

could start at home. I'm looking for some ideas.

I've organized or helped with fund raisers (walks/concert/etc.) for Autism

charities in the past and have done dog rescue, but I have come to realize that

with my stage 3 kidney disease I need to get our own financial foundation solid

for our daughter's future (in case something happens to me) before I try to do

for everybody else. I want to do more charity stuff in the future, but I need

to figure out a sustainable income so our daughter has what she needs long term.

Your insights are appreciated.

Peace be with you!---Nicole

I am not sure this is the place to mention it, but according to my information,

fine wine is outperforming everything else, including gold, in the markets,

partly because its foodstuff status absolves it of certain taxes (altho

personally, I hesitate, owing to the failure to accommodate investors low on

either solid assets or resistance to alcohol).
