The Kinship Hour is a podcast and YouTube channel focused on providing grandmother support for those who have unexpectedly taken on the role of parent due to circumstances such as death, incarceration, suicide, mental health struggles, or the fentanyl crisis.
Founder Aarena Green shares her personal journey—after tragically losing her daughter, she became the primary caregiver for her 28-day-old grandbaby and a five-year-old.
Through this platform, Aarena aims to connect, support, and uplift grandmothers navigating similar journeys, while also highlighting the importance of grandchildren programs designed for families in these challenging situations.
Two years ago, I faced the unimaginable—I lost my daughter to fentanyl, a tragedy caused when someone put it in her drink. Suddenly, I became the primary caregiver for her 28-day-old baby and a five-year-old, entrusted with their lives and futures.
From this heartbreak, God gave me a vision: to connect with grandmothers like me, who are raising grandchildren under difficult circumstances. The Kinship Hour is a space for grandmother support, where we can share our stories, find help through various grandchildren programs, and inspire one another to navigate this unexpected parenthood with resilience, love, and faith.
