Are you only concerned about your own grandchildren??? Or maybe even just your self ...
What
about the child who has no grandparents … There are many programs where you can become a
foster grandma … such as at the Totowa library in NJ … you can be a foster
grandma or grandpa to a child who just needs someone to sit with them for a
couple of hours a month or week … or to read to them … just to show them
someone cares … someone is out there in the world who is taking the time just
for them …
Another cool thing to do … is to be trained as a “Court aide”…
when a child needs to appear in Court because of neglect or abuse … it is a
super scary thing to go through for anyone, especially a child … as a “court
aide” you just sit with the child… talk to them … be a comfort to them during a
very trying time … reach out to children if you can, volunteer your time … you
just might be the difference in that child’s world that makes or breaks their
lives …
