Any help for raising grandkids when parents are in prison?

[Fred N.]

Hello,

I need to know what i can do to help my grandchildren. Both their mother and father have gone to jail for at least the next 10 years. I've got to raise them but am too old. Where can I turn for help??

Hope someone can help me with some answers.

Hey,

Firstly i would like to acknowledge your strength.I know you are in a rough situation and I commend you for wanting to support your grandchildren.

I am sorry about your current situation and I hope that I can be of support.I am the Program Manager for a program in NYC that supports children 4 to 18 that have a parent incarcerated.I am not sure if you are located in NYC. If you are not in NYC, they have Mentoring Children Of PrisonerS PROGRAMS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

I would be happy to assist you with anything that I can!
