This organization is dedicated to those grandparents and other relative caregivers who are raising their grandchildren, their nieces or nephews either by court order or voluntarily.
Across the US, more than 6,000,000 children - app 1 in 12 children - are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. Fla has more than 371,000 children living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives, (““““kinship caregivers””””),providing primary care for children whose parents cannot or will not care for them due to substance abuse, illness, death, abuse and neglect, economic hardship, incarceration, divorce, domestic violence, and other crises.
The organization is intended to help you find the resources and information now available and to become a part of making changes that are so desperately needed to the systems we have all become a part of.
We address the lifestyle changes that we are all in the midst of, raising children well after we ever thought that we would. We are dealing with pediatricians, our own health issues, those of our children, daycare, day to day activities without the benefit of other mothers or grandparents our own age, schools, behaviors, birthday parties even.Whether you want day to day ideas to ease the burden of the blessing or just want to find something to kick back and enjoy we have a feeling you might just find it.
