My grandkids came to live with me when my daughter got divorced. It wasn’t ideal, but her life was out of control and this was best for the kids. Because I am on social security, money got very tight, very quickly. So, Family Service helps me do right by my grandkids, helping with back to school and great food boxes. This is their life now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. We all love Family Service!
