There are many struggles and rewards of grandparents raising their grandchildren. I was moved learning that there are scholarships for small entities like the Children's Playhouse in Boone (and possibly INK in Gainesville). This allows grandparents who cannot otherwise afford even the most nominal fee respite and a place to share activities with their grandchildren. http://www.goplayhouse.org/ There are also many grandparents picking up their grandchildren from school and offering care until parents return from their professional obligations. And please remember there is a population of grandparents who take their grandchildren to see their son or daughter who is incarcerated.
