Until recently, their experiences have been all but invisible.\n\nThese relative caregivers do time in waiting rooms and court hearings, put themselves at financial risk, and sacrifice their own health, all with the dream of making a better life for the kids they love.\n\nIn Grandfamilies, Donna M. Butts, former longtime executive director of Generations United, sheds light on the ongoing fight for the recognition and resources these families deserve. Through heartfelt personal accounts, grandfamily members of all ages and backgrounds share their experiences, giving voice to the millions across this nation who have come together in the spirit of hope and resilience to imagine a better future for their loved ones.\n\nAll book sale proceeds will go to Generations United to support their work with grandfamilies.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FWZYHGTV\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0FWZYHGTV.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Butts, Donna M.|Singletary, Michelle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
