If you think this is about YOU, maybe you should go reconcile with your parent and work to get back your kids instead of continuing to be a jerk. If you think I am you, or similar to you, welcome! :-)

SHOULD YOU NEED ASSISTANCE

While I address this to grandparents, the advice would still hold true for aunts, uncles and cousins of adult children who have abandoned or abused nieces, nephews and cousins. 

If you are a grandparent who is considering acquiring custody/ guardianship of or adopting your grandchildren:

If you are a grandparent who isn't sure but has suspicions that your grandchildren might be in need of assistance because your adult child is either abusing or neglecting them:

If you are a grandparent who is being bullied by an adult child, including using the grandchildren as pawns to get you to cooperate with the demands of the adult child in question:

I have a few questions for you re your experience in grant writing. Wondered if you would be open to some conversation. I am just getting into grant writing for a Catholic school. I do not see how to contact you by email on this blog. So if you don't mind, please let me know how. Thank you!

Sorry, I have previously explained that I no longer write grants, for anybody.
