At this time, there is not much advice I can offer. However, I am impressed by the way you use each step you are forced to take backwards, to find a new way of achieving your dreams. That your dreams are of helping children makes them very special.

On a more practical level: how is it you have such a small number of followers? If you want others to follow you, you must also follow them, or else they'll get rid of you. By now you should have had at least a thousand!

Take the time to visit posts in the community work and such, where your interests lie, and gather more friends. Actually, it is a good way to think of it. The word 'Follower' is horrible. Think of you reaching out to make friends and them reaching back, strengthening you with their interest in your dreams - as you show interest in theirs.
