PA: Grands Stepping Up supports grandparents who are raising their grandchildren alone
Philadelphia Inquirer – January 20, 2022
Grands Stepping Up (GSU), a nonprofit organization, provides support to grandparents raising their grandchildren and kinship guardians raising their family members. A lot of the grandparents raising grandchildren are living on fixed incomes. Some who do get governmental support say it is meager, but they are reluctant to get more involved with the child welfare system, even though it would mean more aid. Some profess a lack of trust in the foster care system. They say they don’t believe the intrusion would be in the best interest of their families. The bottom line, they say, is many of these family caretakers are struggling.
