[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 598731, member: 1721"] Gran, 211 is a nation-wide social services hotline. If there is a program in your area, if there is help for grandparents in your situation, they will know and refer you to that number. Also, I think there is a program for grandparents to "foster" their own grandchildren. You would receive the same amount of money it would cost your state for your grandchildren to be in foster care. If you Google your county name and "social services," you can then find numbers for your area. Call someone there and ask what help is available to a grandparent raising her grandchildren because their mother is incapacitated. You are a wonderful woman Gran, to have decided to raise your grandchildren. That you need help to do that is nothing to be ashamed of. If there are no answers from these suggestions, post your questions regarding how to find financial help for raising your grands on Watercooler. (Another area of this site.) Your post will be seen by more people. They will have other suggestions for you. Barbara [/QUOTE]
