Help us change the world

I am a 31 year old single mother to a 4 year old who is the heart of my world. I dream of sharing my dreams an adventures with him and need your help to make it happen. I've spent years in college studying abroad and helping the less fortunate while learning from them and their way of living. I am so afraid for this country right now. I need to raise my son with a better perspective and a global understanding. I do all I can here to accomplish this, however we are so bombarded by distractions that it seems near impossible to really take the rose colored lenses away from myself and I fear for my son and the world he will be growing up in if global awareness wanes at the current exponential rate. Please help, I don't know where else to turn. I come from a family who was raised as a Jehovah's witness. I have a sweet mother and 3 younger brothers. we lost our father 17 years ago to an explosion and he was burned to death. we have brought ourselves back up since but right now I am struggling. I've been unemployed since August of 2013 and despite my extensive work history and qualifications and determination to find satisfying employment I have come up with nothing. I've decided this suburban, corporate life is not meant for us and need to get out and shake it all off and start over. Any questions I would be happy to answer. anything helps, I will soon be losing my place to live and will need to transplant ourselves somewhere we can really make a difference.
