NJ-2026-0043: Grandparent raising two grandchildren, one with disabilities and one with diabetes, hoping for a little joy under the tree

FAMILY BACKGROUND:
A grandparent is raising two grandchildren, a 14-year-old grandson and a 6-year-old granddaughter, in an apartment in Lake Hiawatha. The 6-year-old has disabilities and the 14-year-old has diabetes, and the grandparent is on disability too. It is a little tight this Christmas, and they are not asking for much, only a few gifts under the tree and a little joy. Christmas is one of the best times in their home, with putting up the tree, playing games, singing, cooking, baking cookies and watching Christmas movies together. A sponsor's help this season would mean so much to their family.
