This episode is a follow up to Lola’s Story with Meredith Howell that was released on September 4th. If you have not listened to Lola’s story we recommend you listen to that episode before listening to this episode. Jenny interviews Rita DeVore. Rita is mother to Meredith and grandmother to Lola. Rita is also the Special Projects & Volunteer Coordinator at VIPS.  Rita tells us about her relationship with Lola, how she supports her family and encourages other grandparents to get involved in the lives of their grandchildren no matter how difficult the situation. Dr. Cathy, Jenny & Paige reflect on the need families have for this special kind of support. Paige includes some great ideas on how to be involved with your grandchildren whether you live next door or across the country.  

In Lola’s story Meredith discusses creating the NR2F1 Foundation with a group of other mothers. For more information on the NR2F1 Foundation visit their website: https://nr2f1.org/
