Nearly a decade ago, Sylvia found herself unexpectedly raising her grandchildren – Isaiah, then 8, and Josie, just three years old – after one of her adult children’s struggles with addiction led to incarceration. Like 62,000 grandparents raising grandchildren in Arizona, Sylvia faced overwhelming challenges. But amidst the hardships of being a widow, returning to work full-time, and taking on the role of “mom” instead of “nana,” thanks to donors like you, Sylvia and her grandfamily are thriving today.
