The First 72 Hours: A Christian Grandmother's Emergency Playbook

I had to make my own daughter homeless to protect her child. Here is everything I wish someone had told me first.A faith-led emergency playbook for the Christian grandmother who is watching meth come for her child — and reaching for her grandchild.Two years ago, I was where you are tonight. I sat in my driveway at 2 a.m. trying to figure out how to make my own daughter homeless before my granddaughter got home from school the next day. I borrowed the attorney's retainer from my mother. I had been a nurse for twenty years and I still did not know what to do.The First 72 Hours is the guide I needed that night and could not find anywhere.WHAT'S INSIDE:The Meth Truth — the one piece of information CPS knows that almost no grandmother does, and why it changes every decision you make.Part 1: Before You Do Anything — Why you cannot wait, permission to act, and a prayer for the moment.Part 2: Find the Right Attorney — The $1,500 mistake most grandmothers make in the first call, the three questions to ask every attorney, what consultations actually cost, and where to find one. Includes the Attorney Consultation Prep worksheet.Part 3: Prepare Your Finances — Real numbers (my total cost was $7,500), where the money comes from in order from gentlest to harshest, and what NOT to do. Includes the Financial Inventory worksheet.Part 4: Document Everything — What evidence wins in court, how to back it up so a broken phone does not destroy your case, and what NOT to do. Includes the Evidence Tracking Journal worksheet.Part 5: While You Wait — The 2 a.m. prayer, a nurse's note on self-care, what to tell your grandchild, who to bring into your circle, and how to hold the line.A Blessing for the Reader — A prayer prayed specifically for the woman holding this guide.By the time you put this guide down, you will know what to do first, second, and third. You will know what to spend and what not to spend. You will know that you are not alone in the dark.I am not writing to you from the other side of this road. I am writing from two years further down it than you are. I am still walking it.You can love your child AND protect your grandchild. Those two things are not opposites. They are the same thing.— Hannah GraceGrace at the Gate
