It can be done, but it's a matter of wanting to. Your sibling clearly doesn't.
You have no idea what other people 'can do'.
Wow. The poor reading comprehension on this thread is simply appalling.
Where did you even quote "can do"?
From the poster above say 'it can be done' dummy

Parents only in their 50s?!!
I thought they are well over 75, or something.
With souc young-ish age to be financially depndent on the child already, I'd be soooo concerned about their future plan.
Will you always depend on me financially everytime big $$$ comes up??

I would be wary if I were the other sibling. It sounds like this first 10k is a drop in the bucket compared to what's going to happen later in life when the grandparents need a lot more care/money/support. If the grandparents are this destitute, the two kids and parents need to sit down and work out a life plan for what happens later. Will grandparents move in with one of their children.
+1 My thoughts after reading that parents are only in their 50s.
