Recipient story
Proud grandmother determined to provide stability for her grandchildren
First Nations Support
Other hardship(s)
A resilient grandmother who never planned to raise children again, but after losing three of her own, her grandchildren needed a safe place—so she opened her door. Although her home is now full, she keeps it spotless, her yard neat, holding onto pride and stability despite everything she’s faced.
She survives on basic Centrelink payments meant for one person, with nothing extra for the children in her care. Every week is a struggle—stretching food, covering bills, going without so the kids don’t have to. But what her grandchildren see isn’t the hardship. They see someone who shows up every day. Who keeps them safe, connected to culture, and surrounded by love. Despite grief, pressure, and financial strain, she keeps going—because giving her grandchildren a chance at stability matters more than anything she’s lost.
