By giving support and understanding.  We know that the caregiving role can enhance a grandparent’s sense of purpose in life and can contribute to the satisfaction of maintaining the family’s continuing identity and well-being. Grandparents can provide love, security, encouragement, and structure for grandchildren – especially for those who might otherwise be in a foster care home.

A grandparent can act as a “safety net” for children whose families have been damaged by death, drug abuse, family violence, abuse, incarceration, or divorce. The mission of GPL, then, is to provide the resources and support that custodial grandparents so desperately need when taking on the responsibility of bringing up their grandchildren.

With your donations and support, GPL will be providing the desperately needed support for grandparents through like minded groups, in-kind donations and more.  We are assisting those who need help making ends meet with car repairs, appliances, clothing, food and other basic needs that pose a challenge once the grandkids come into their homes.
