Thank you for this interview, Ivana. We need to hear from more parents and grandparents like Jackie. This is another article with some good information about support for families like hers (from The Free Press in June):

Thank you so much for this, Jackie and Ivana!

We have a classmate who is being raised by his grandparents, and Jackie's story is a window into that kind of courage.
