I am raising my 2-year-old grandson James, whom I am in the process of adopting. After being widowed in 2023, I am doing this alone, and it has been both a joy and a challenge. At 62 years old, I am committed to giving James the best possible start in life, but raising a young child on a fixed income is difficult. The costs of daily care, adoption fees, and childcare add up quickly, and I want to make sure James has a secure and bright future, especially with an older caregiver.

Your support will help cover essential expenses, including food, clothing, and medical care, as well as the legal costs of adoption and childcare. I am also hoping to save for James’s future, so he has opportunities as he grows. Any contribution, big or small, will help us build a bright future for James. I am doing this alone and I need all the help I can get. Thank you for considering supporting us during this important time.
