Story
A 74-year-old grandmother is doing everything she can to care for her three young grandchildren while facing serious health challenges of her own. With both parents incarcerated, she has stepped in as their full-time caregiver. She lives on a fixed income and is retired, making it incredibly difficult to manage unexpected expenses—especially home repairs.
Her home, which is fully paid off, is the only stable place she can offer the children. Moving to an apartment isn’t financially possible, so she’s determined to stay and keep the family together. Recently, the fascia on her home began to hang loose and is now striking the bathroom window. She’s deeply concerned it will shatter the glass, putting her and the children at risk.
On top of this, she’s preparing for a possible pacemaker and heart surgery. She has reached out to local organizations for help, but none have been able to assist. We’re hoping a volunteer or community partner might step forward to help repair or replace the fascia to ensure this family can stay safe and secure in their home.
