Unfortunately, what you want probably can't be done on a "very limited income." You need a good family lawyer, and "good" usually means "expensive."
Once you get that "good" family lawyer, he or she will assist you in filing a complicated lawsuit called a Chapter 39 action, which will allow you to get custody of the children because of your daughter's abuse and neglect of the kids.

You might also want to contact the Florida Bar or the County Bar Assoc., where you live, for some "pro bono" work.
I agree this sounds more like a Dependency action than anything else. It sounds like your daughter really needs couselling and services in place to help her to be a good and nuturing parent which is what I am sure you want also.
