Grandparents Support
Grandparents play an important and unique role in the lives of their loved ones affected by Duchenne or Becker. However, it can be hard sometimes to know exactly how and where you can support your family. PPMD is here to provide grandparents (and extended family members) with support, information, community and ways to take meaningful action.
Connect with Other Grandparents in the Community Directly
If you prefer one-on-one connection with others, schedule a time to meet with PPMD here and we can connect you with individual support.
For questions or more resources, reach out to Nicole@parentprojectmd.org.
