Hear from Debra, a grandmother whose family’s journey has been supported by Edgewood’s Kinship Program, in this short Giving Tuesday video.

When Debra became guardian to her grandchildren, Dreama and Derek-Steve, a family crisis transformed into a story of love, resilience, and hope. With Edgewood’s guidance through our Kinship program, Debra found the strength and support to create stability and joy for her family through therapy, guardianship assistance, and respite care that renewed her spirit.

Once anxious and uncertain, Dreama and Derek-Steve now laugh freely, surrounded by love and security. “Edgewood helped me take care of my grandkids,” Debra says, “but they also helped me take care of myself.”
