Dear Supporter,

I'm writing with exciting news that marks a pivotal step forward for kinship caregivers across Texas.

Senator Molly Cook has officially acknowledged the Grandparent Custody Empowerment Act and forwarded it to her policy team for review.

This recognition is a breakthrough—and it belongs to all of us. Your support, your shares, and your voices brought this Act to her desk. Together, we’re showing that family preservation isn’t just a personal mission—it’s a movement.

🛤️ What’s Next I’ll be sharing additional materials with her office and continuing outreach to other legislators. Momentum is building, and your continued support is vital.

📣 Here’s how you can help:

Share the petition widely to help us gather more voices
Encourage friends and allies to add their signatures
If you have a story of kinship caregiving—especially grandparent-led—reach out. I want to amplify your experience.
This journey is about visibility, justice, and honoring the quiet heroes who hold families together. Thank you for standing with me.

With gratitude and determination, Nikki Hill Kinship Advocate & Grandmother
