A devoted grandmother is stepping in to provide emergency care for her 1.5-year-old grandson after he was removed from his home. To prevent him from being placed in a non-family foster home, she has been asked to take him into her care immediately. The baby is the son of her eldest son, and while she is eager to welcome him, the unexpected responsibility has created a financial strain.

With two children already in her household, she is in urgent need of essential supplies for her grandson, including clothing (socks and pajamas), diapers, wipes, sippy cups, and groceries. Unfortunately, it will take 2-3 months before she receives financial assistance for his care.

DCFS is preparing to transfer the baby from San Diego to her home right away. Your kindness and generosity can help ensure that this grandmother has the support she needs to provide a stable and loving environment for her grandson during this critical time.
