As a child, Margie Walker was raised by her grandparents. They didn’t have much, but Margie always knew she was loved. Then, when she was 81 years old, Margie became the sole caregiver for her great grandson, Drayven. It was a decision made out of love. But at that stage in her life, it also brought a host of challenges. 

Now, Margie gets help from ACH’s Kinship Connections. The program guided her through the complexities of obtaining legal guardianship like helping her get legal documents and setting her up to take online trainings. Kinship Connections also provided her with household essentials, mental health services, and assistance in getting her home up to code for her great grandson. 

By partnering with ACH, Margie doesn’t have to worry about providing Drayven a stable home. Instead, she gets to see Drayven graduate high school, pursue his passion, and reach his fullest potential.
