Why Connecting with a Surrogate Grandparent Matters

Modern family structures often lead to gaps in intergenerational interaction. Whether due to distance, life circumstances, or absence of extended family, children miss out on invaluable life lessons and emotional support from elder mentors. Meanwhile, countless older adults face social isolation and long for the chance to positively influence a young life. According to the National Institute on Aging, loneliness among grandparents has been linked to serious health risks—including cognitive decline and depression. By matching families with grandparents who want to serve as surrogate grandparents, our app helps restore the richness of family-style mentorship and love.
