Early this morning I spent time on the phone with a grandma of some of our campers.

This woman has had custody of her grandkids since March.  They had been in a shelter before that.

This woman...she's overwhelmed.  She needs help navigating the system.  I want desperately to help her, but she is just across the river...in another state.

So...I did what I could.  I listened.  I prayed for her and she started to cry.

I am going to call her this evening and offer to come over and chat.  Just so she feels heard.  I am going to take someone to play with the kids while we are there.

Pray for this grandma and her four grandkids who were recently entrusted to her care.  She is truly doing what is best for them, but she feels trampled on by the system.
