NJ-2025-0029: FAMILY BACKGROUND: 64-year-old grandmother is raising four grandchildren who mean the world to her.

FAMILY BACKGROUND: 64-year-old grandmother is raising four grandchildren who mean the world to her. Two of the children are on the autism spectrum, and one also lives with ADHD and epilepsy. She is deeply protective and dedicated to giving them a stable and loving home. The household has been under significant financial strain, especially with a high mortgage and the rising cost of food and bills. Her husband is ill and unable to work, leaving her to manage the family’s needs on a fixed income. Despite everything, she wants the children to experience joy and magic this Christmas and is hoping for support to help make that happen.
