62239047- Support Needed for Grandmother Caring for Four Grandchildren with Autism

A devoted and loving grandmother has stepped up as the full-time caregiver for her four grandchildren, whose ages range from 4 to 12 years old. Despite being retired and living on a fixed income, she took them in without hesitation, driven by her deep love and commitment to their well-being.

All four children are on the autism spectrum, and while the grandmother is doing everything she can to provide them with a nurturing and supportive home, she is in urgent need of assistance. Her biggest concern right now is their safety while playing outside. The backyard is currently unfenced, which poses a serious risk, as the children may wander off into the street—something she constantly worries about.

The family is asking for help with getting a secure gate or fence installed around the backyard. This would allow the children to play freely and safely while giving their grandmother peace of mind. A fenced area would be a tremendous blessing and would significantly improve the quality of life for these children and their caregiver.

Any assistance—whether through donated materials, installation help, or funding toward this safety need—would mean the world to this family. They are incredibly grateful for any and all support they receive.

Thank you, and blessings to all who are able to help.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

Glocal provides for the physical needs for a new baby to be welcomed through a baby shower. We are currently out of the baby bath sets that include baby shampoo, baby lotion and diaper cream. Many stores sell these as a set or we can use the individual items and gift them to these moms that are usually having their first baby in the US. so far this year, Glocal has given showers or made deliveries to over 40 moms and we have 5 coming up next week. this will support us through the end of the summer.

If you also love baby and women, please reach out and let me know if you would host a shower. We gather the donations but we love for churches to love on these new moms by a small shower. We facilitate it and help with all the details. you provide the food, the friends and the place. thank you!
