JOIN grandparents called to parent

I am a Christian, a Noni, a business owner, and the founder of Grandparents Called to Parent.

After losing my son, I began raising my twin granddaughters, and that changed my life forever.

What started in heartbreak became part of my purpose.

God did not waste my pain, and I want to use what I have lived to help someone else.

I know what it feels like to carry a lot, keep showing up, and still need support yourself.

That is why I built this space.

I created Grandparents Called to Parent to encourage grandparents who are raising their grandchildren and to remind them they are not alone.

This is a place for faith, support, practical help, and real encouragement for the road you are walking.

What I want for the families I serve

I believe grandparents raising grandchildren deserve

support, strength, and hope.

God did not call us to this journey without purpose, and He

did not mean for us to carry it alone.

My heart is to help grandparents feel seen, supported, and

better equipped to care for the children they are raising while

also caring for their own health, future, and calling.

• Strength to keep showing up

• Support for the hard days

• Wisdom for the next step

Start Here!

Whether you are looking for support, better health clarity, or a flexible way to earn from home, I want to help you take the next right step.
