Hi I am a kinship carer for my nephew I have had him since he left the hospital at 3 weeks old he was withdrawing from drugs and alcohol he also has a skin disorder in which I have to cream him every nappy change and through the night I am also working part time in which I am tired all the time with being up every night I wish I could afford to give up work but I also have court fees to pay as social work asked me to take this through the courts to get a residence order but the court fees are 6000 social work are paying 1500 of it for me. x
