Step Up Parents

Our Story

Step Up Parents was established to provide essential financial assistance and support to relative caregivers who have stepped up to care for children whose biological parents are struggling with substance use disorder. Founded in 2019, the organization was inspired by the personal experiences of our founder's friends, who faced overwhelming emotional and financial challenges while raising their granddaughter. What began as a local effort to assist one family has transformed into a vital safety net for kinship caregivers across New Hampshire and Southern Maine.

Our Impact

Step Up Parents is dedicated to meeting the unique needs of kinship caregivers, offering financial aid for daycare, clothing, baby supplies, music lessons, legal fees, and special camps for children in need. The organization strives to ensure that every family receives the support they require to thrive.
