Whatever It Takes
Tommy realized that there were ways past the legal impediments after seeking legal counsel, and he did everything in his ability to see that Kiarna was taken care of. He even depleted his life assets to secure them a larger rental flat. As a result, Tommy discontinued his track and field training. “Everyone tells me this is a huge responsibility, but I wasn't thinking about university or career or anything; all I was thinking was that she needed me.”
Making Preparations
“I've spent the last few months working, changing houses, meeting with various departments, signing paperwork, being assessed and monitored, pursuing cash, setting up her bank accounts, buying baby goods, furnishings, travelling to hospital and doctor appointments, and settling [Kiarna] in.” And that's not all. Tommy even began teaching Kiarna important life skills such as reading and writing, as well as driving. Tommy helped her pass her driving test and obtain her learner's permit. By all accounts, her life appeared to be on the right track.
