Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (TXGRG) is a cornerstone organization dedicated to uplifting grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. Founded and led by Mercedes Bristol, TXGRG provides essential resources, advocacy, and a strong sense of community for grandfamilies throughout Texas.
In 2023, TXGRG achieved remarkable milestones. Programs like the HOPE Project offered equine therapy and bonding activities designed to strengthen family connections and promote emotional well-being. The organization also led efforts to advance legislative changes, ensuring grandfamilies have improved access to critical benefits. Alongside these initiatives, TXGRG continued to nurture a network of support groups, giving caregivers a space to share experiences, gain guidance, and find encouragement.
Through these combined efforts, TXGRG positively impacted over 2,000 grandfamilies, providing crucial support, advocacy, and hope for those navigating the unique challenges of raising grandchildren. Their work not only meets immediate needs but also builds a lasting, supportive community for generations to come.
Grandfamilies across Texas are finding hope and strength through TXGRG.
“When I lost everything, my grandkids were sleeping on air mattresses. TXGRG made sure they now sleep in sturdy beds. I am so grateful.”
“TXGRG is the main reason my grandchildren are still in my home. They stand in the gap with knowledge and advocacy so children stay with family instead of the foster system.”
“For 10 years my wife and I have been raising our grandchildren with no assistance. TXGRG gave us legal advice, SNAP guidance, and encouragement when we needed it most. God bless the angels in this organization.”
“TXGRG has impacted my family enormously. With their help, I was able to gain custody of my one-year-old niece. They bring family together and provide unity, love, comfort, and compassion.”
