On December 11, Step Up Parents rides for a cause at LizFit’s Spinning Generosity fundraiser! Please consider joining our team or donating to help us reach our $30,000 goal. This money will carry kinship families through the winter months ahead, when need is greater than ever.
Step Up Parents provides financial assistance to kinship caregivers in New Hampshire and Southern Maine who are raising the children of parents with substance use disorder. Even heroes need a hand.
Kinship caregivers are relatives or friends who step up to care for, nurture and protect children who find themselves without a responsible parent or safe place to live. For these caregivers, the most immediate need is often financial. Step Up Parents responds by striving to meet every family’s individual needs, whether it is aid with the cost of daycare, clothing, baby supplies, music lessons, legal fees or a special camp for a struggling child.
When their oldest daughter was no longer able to care for her three young grandchildren due to her struggle with substance abuse disorder, Elle & Barry heroically stepped up. Hear how Step Up Parents was able to offer support.
