You’re Not Alone
Hear From Our Grandparents
“Thank you so much for all you do to help us grandparents.. I’ve been raising my granddaughters since they were young two and three-year-olds when I got permanent guardianship of them.. It’s a very sad story for all of these children who have been through so much, as well as the grandparents who carry it all and keep things together.”
“I didn’t anticipate all the people that would be involved and all the work to do, the paperwork/forms, meetings, visits, court, etc. I really didn’t understand and was very overwhelmed.”
“Being involved with DCF was good and bad. I wish there was better communication, I wish I knew what was going on and how decisions were being made.”
Supporting Grandparents
How you can help
When grandparents and kinship caregivers take on the responsibility of raising children, they do it out of love—but often at great personal sacrifice. Plans are paused. Budgets are stretched to cover groceries, school clothes, and daycare or after-school care. Many are navigating complex emotions—grief, trauma, and the challenge of parenting a second time—without the resources they need.
That’s why Massachusetts Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, Inc. exists. Your donation can help us fund vital programs and services, including camperships, extracurricular activities, educational resources, and more. Your donation helps open doors—for children and the grandparents who are doing everything they can to give them a better future.
Every dollar makes a difference—and 100% goes directly to programs that support grandfamilies across Massachusetts.
