For several years, my husband Mike and I have been fighting to have our grandson in our lives. We were finally granted grandparent visitations, which meant traveling long distances to Indiana and now to South Carolina just to see him. Recently, we learned that he is living in a house with six adults and eight children, all crammed into just 950 square feet with only one bathroom. The conditions are heartbreaking—there are roaches and mice, not a stick of furniture, and dirty clothes everywhere. Our grandson isn’t even allowed to get a snack from the refrigerator. He has no medical insurance, and his basic needs are not being met. His stepbrother and stepsister were able to escape this environment and now live safely with their father in Michigan, but our grandson is still trapped in these unsafe conditions. The mother’s brother has been violent, and it’s clear that the children are seen only as meal tickets. Mike and I have done everything we can, even giving money for school functions because his mother refuses to help. We have exhausted our savings trying to support him and now face the daunting costs of legal fees to fight for custody. Just last night, we had to return our grandson to this environment. The police were involved, and hearing him cry and scream that he wanted to come home with us broke our hearts. We haven’t slept, and we are desperate to get him to safety. Our grandson deserves a safe, loving home and the chance to just be a kid. We are reaching out to our friends, family, and anyone who can help us make this possible. Your support will go directly toward attorney fees and legal expenses so we can bring our grandson to safety and give him the life he deserves. Any help you can give means the world to us and to him. Thank you for standing with us in this fight for his future.
