In honor of Kinship Awareness Month, a Kinship Caregiver will be honored each day during the month of September in recognition of their dedication and effort in providing for the safety and well-being of the children in their care. Caregivers were nominated by a trusted friend, family member, or professional. In partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, caregivers will receive a "wish" that offers support for family activities. Check back each day of September for a new story of courage and hope.
Today we are recognizing Jessica and Steven. Their nominator stated, "Jessica and Steve work together as a team."
