Olivia and TFP, this story breaks my heart. As a child and as an adult my family has participated in "adopting" children in need in other countries to help provide schooling, medical care, clothing, etc. We'd exchange letters over the years. Is it crazy to ask if we can "adopt" some of these "grand families"? Something like how we "adopt" local kids during the holidays to get them items off their list. What if it were things like school clothes money, paying an electrical bill, a sports or activity fee, an Amazon wish list...things that aren't huge but that would provide relief for these grandparents/kids and let them know they are loved and worthy? Sticking with these kids over their school years to encourage them in their journey would be amazing for both the receiver and the giver.
