Recipient story
A loving grandmother is raising four vulnerable family members alone—help keep them warm this winter.
First Nations Support
We are seeking assistance to provide 2 oil heaters for a devoted grandmother who is the primary carer for her 3 grandchildren, aged 4, 6, and 9, & her 20-year-old son who lives with autism. Despite enduring the heartbreaking loss of her husband & 18-year-old son, she has remained a source of love, stability, & strength for her family.
She took on full-time care of her grandchildren after their mother became absent due to substance misuse issues & their father was incarcerated. Living on a limited income in an older home, the family struggles to stay warm during winter. This is especially concerning for the youngest child, who has severe asthma & has experienced multiple hospital admissions due to cold-related respiratory complications. Two oil heaters would provide a warm, safe environment, improving the family's comfort, health, & wellbeing. Any support would make a meaningful difference to a grandmother who has selflessly dedicated her life to caring for those she loves
