Grandparents raising grandchildren support group to form

34

Today it is not uncommon for grandparents to be raising their grandchildren. At a time when they were anticipating the freedom of retirement, their lives have changed drastically. Maricopa residents Mark and Kathy Dann are planning to start a Grandparents’ Support Group locally.

Members would provide mutual support, shared ideas and even child care so grandparents could have a night out. A ‘getting to know you’ social would be the first scheduled event.

If you are interested in this type of support group and might enjoy meeting other grandparents raising their grandchildren, contact Mark or Kathy Dann at (520) 568-5432.
