I have a number different manifesting techniques I've come across in the past that may help and if you're interested, I'll be glad to post some. These are methods I've had personal experiences and success with, as I try to avoid passing on methods and techniques I don't have first hand experience with.
I also don't want to bog you down with too many ideas and techniques to choose from, so first can you tell us what method you are using to manifest? And what problem do you think you are running into?
I really like your idea and the heart behind it, if you don't mind I would like to look into ways to help out by finding out about sources of funding, ect. , can I, can I, can I?
Let us know how you're doin so far and if livingthedream's suggestion is helping...
