I really need your help I am worried about grandchildren who lives with their mom because their mom is very heavy alcoholic. Her kids aren’t happy with her and want to live with me to make better life for them. Please help me.

If she voluntarily wants to give custody to you, it's easy to get a Stipulated agreement for custody. If she fights it, you better have an outstanding argument to take a mother's children away. Just petition Family Court for custody.
