Jacqueline Skinner-Foster quit her job to take care of Harvey, who has a rare disease called DLG4-related synaptopathy, full-time and signed up for five Medicaid waiver lists that would help them financially.

However, Harvey is about 500 spots away from getting his turn on one of the lists, and that's after waiting almost a year.
