"Soon I won’t be able to help those grandchildren"

Guest User January 19, 2017
 

I’m retired, but l provide some financial support and try to help my 4 grandchildren continue their education. 

I'm relatively old (late 80s) and I have only social security and medicare; soon I won’t be able to help those grandchildren. I want to be sure their parents have the ability to help them get established and into good employment.

Please undertake to assure paid family support to the parent generation, and assure their needs for income even should they become ill.

— Robert K., Port Angeles
(24th Legislative District)
