Thank you for visiting my page at Angelfire.
I hope you will take the time to read this page,
and view the slide show presentation before you move on.

Access for Grands will be a website devoted to both grandparents
who wish access to their grandchildren, and to grandchildren who
wish access to their grandparents. I want this to be a place
where grandchildren who have been denied the right to see their
grandparents can come to try to find them. Grandparents who are
seeking access can provide me with as much or as little information
they want, to help their grandchildren to identify them. My vision
is to alphabetically place the grandparents last name, first name,
location, email address, and webpage link so that if their grandchild
is looking for them, they have a starting point. I would like to
provide the same for children however, for safety precautions, I
am unable to include children's surnames. Regardless, I am planning
to eventually include some pages for letters from children to their
grandparents. So, if you are a child who has been denied access to
your grandparents please email me with your story, and a short
letter to your grandparent. Give me as much information as you can,
and I will try to help you locate them. I will place your letters on my
website, with a link to my email. If a grandparent believes they are
your grandparent they can email me with their website link, in order
that grandchildren can see photos, letters, etc. This can be a form of
communication between families, so that the children know they have
not been forgotten...they are loved and missed. If you have any
questions, suggestions, please email me. If you have a link to
your own website for your grandchild, or want help setting one up,
please contact me as well.

I will be putting up a page of suggestions in the future.

The Milk Can Kids

The Milk Can Kids is a short Canadian slide
presentation created to help draw public
awareness to the plight of both grandchildren
who are denied access to their grandparents
as well as grandchildren who are being
raised by their grandparents.

The film was produced in Canada by
Christy's Creations© and features original
artwork by Phyllis Proulx of Alberta.
The original artwork began as a touching
project created by Ms. Proulx (a denied
access grandparent) in the Spring of 2002.
Phyllis felt that the online grandparents support
group had helped her through some very trying
times and wanted to give something back in return.

One day Phyllis decided to create a project
representative of the members and purpose
of this group which she had come to rely
upon. Her chosen media was an old milk can,
very symbolic of the missing children ads
on milk cartons. Phyllis painted the milk
can with a refreshingly simple yet artistic
interpretation of the many children that
some of the members were either raising or
seeking access to. You absolutely must
experience this short film to truly appreciate
how much of Phyllis's heart went into this
project. I think it will be easy to pick
out her own denied access grandchild. I hope
you can sense the depth of our feelings,
especially the artist's, when you experience
the "Milk Can Kids"!

Please note, this may take a few moments
to load, but I think the wait is well worth it.

If you would like to purchase stationery
(such as note cards) featuring Ms. Proulx's
Milk Can Kids, please contact me by clicking
the email link below for further information.
Also, note that the email address at the
end of the presentation is outdated.

A portion of all stationery sales will be
used towards assisting Canadian grandparents
seeking access to or raising their grandchildren.
