 "about": "Every grandparent remembers the moment they thought their parenting days were behind them. \u00a0But for thousands of grandparents in our community, life had other plans. They stepped forward \u2014 out of love, out of duty, out of sheer determination \u2014 to raise their grandchildren when no one else could.\nGrandParents Love (GPL) exists for them.\nWe lift up grandparents who have taken on the extraordinary responsibility of raising a new generation, often with limited income, limited support, and unlimited love. Many are living on less than $25,000 a year, yet the cost of caring for even one grandchild can add $5,492\u2013$7,813 annually. The financial strain grows with every child they welcome into their home.\nAnd despite doing the same work as foster parents, these grandparents receive only $300\u2013$330 per child, compared to the $820 provided in the foster care system. Still, they show up. They sacrifice. They love fiercely.\nGPL steps in to make sure they don\u2019t have to do it alone.\nWe provide:\n\n\u2022 Respite care so grandparents can rest and recharge\n\n\u2022 Mental health support to help them navigate the emotional weight of caregiving\n\n\u2022 Support groups and resources that build community and reduce isolation\n\n\u2022 Practical assistance that keeps households stable and families together\n\nResearch shows that children raised by grandparents feel more loved, experience greater stability, and have fewer behavioral challenges. When you support GPL, you\u2019re strengthening not just a household \u2014 you\u2019re strengthening an entire community.\nBecause when you lift up a grandparent, you lift up a whole family.\nTestimonials\n\"When my daughter was killed, by her husband, everything inside me broke. My four grandchildren were living in Indio, CA at the time, and I was in Utah \u2014 too far away when they needed me most. I moved to Indio immediately because I couldn\u2019t let them face any more loss alone.\nAll I seen were a bunch of \"No's\" \u2014 no stability, no routine, no sense of how to start over while all of us were grieving. A friend saw how overwhelmed I was and nominated me for a GPL\u2011GrandParents Love award.\nGPL stepped into my life at a moment when I didn\u2019t even know what to ask for. They helped us get what we needed to settle in, connected me with emotional support, and made sure my grandchildren felt safe again. They didn\u2019t just offer assistance \u2014 they offered compassion, dignity, and a reminder that we weren\u2019t alone.\nGPL helped me find the strength to keep going for my grandkids. In the darkest moment of our lives, they brought light back into our home.\"",
