Supporting Grandparents and Guardians experiencing financial hardship

There is an alarming number of grandparents and guardians who are raising children in their parents absence. Tragically, most instances are the result of the death of one or both parents, parental issues with alcohol or drug addiction, crime, mental illness, neglect, and/or abuse.

Unfortunately, acquiring guardianship can be a complicated process. The change is often an abrupt and traumatic experience for both the children and grandparents while dealing with the sudden loss of a vital family member. This issue is further exacerbated by financial restraints as most grandparents and guardians are on single/fixed incomes and very few resources are available to them. This is where Grandparents and Guardians, Inc. wants to make an impact in communities. With your help, we can provide economical, educational, and mental health support to these under-served households, enabling guardians to raise children in a healthy living environment and providing enriching opportunities that foster success.
