I raised 3 kids. Now I'm 61 and starting over with 2 grandsons who need me.
After raising three children, Kathy Davidson took custody of two grandsons. At 61, she's navigating parenting again on a limited income.
Kathy Davidson, a 61-year-old woman in North Carolina, is raising her two grandsons, ages 8 and 11, due to their mother's struggles. She receives $997 monthly in disability benefits while her husband, an electrician, earns $615 weekly after taxes. Kathy has been raising the boys since they were infants, after their biological mother went to jail and gave custody to her.
Despite financial difficulties, Kathy provides a stable and loving home for the boys, who have medical conditions. They spend time outdoors, such as hiking and camping, and receive limited child support, which helps with their expenses. Kathy emphasizes discipline and encourages the boys to work hard, believing in their potential for a successful future.
