There are many times you feel situations are "hopeless". This is not the case with Desiree as she is one hell of a miracle worker. Desiree adapts to your life instant and she sees what has to be done. She has never given me her age but sounds on the younger side. She was a mother at age 18 and the man she thought loved her left them. Desiree had to work hard for anything she wanted/needed. Her family did not approve of her being a mother so young and wanted the baby aborted. For awhile she admits she was selfish as all she had to worry about was her and her daughter. Then when her daughter was diagnosed with autism at an older age this was an eye opener. Desiree realized she needed help, support. Her daughter became so bad that Desiree had to move in with a friend as she had to cut back from work. When her daughter went to school things became worse and worse. A young girl being bullied and humiliated left her to take her own life. Desiree never recovered from this.
