Story
A loving and devoted grandmother is currently raising her sixteen-year-old granddaughter through kinship care, stepping up selflessly to provide the stability, love, and guidance her granddaughter needs during a difficult chapter in their lives. She has created a safe and nurturing home, showing incredible strength and resilience every step of the way.
Recently, this strong caregiver faced a life-changing diagnosis: breast cancer. She underwent a double mastectomy and is now in the early stages of recovery. As she heals, she is unable to work and is struggling to stay on top of basic living expenses. Her monthly rent is $800, and she is in urgent need of support to cover just one month of housing. OhioKAN was able to assist with June rent, but she continues to need help with July rent, and possibly August, as it will take time to receive her first paycheck after returning to work.
This assistance would give her room to breathe, heal, and continue caring for her granddaughter without the added weight of financial strain. She is not asking for charity — only a helping hand while she regains her strength. Your support, whether through financial aid, resources, or referrals, would provide comfort and stability to a family doing everything they can to stay together through an incredibly hard time.
By helping this grandmother, we are helping preserve a home, protect a child, and uplift a woman whose love and courage are holding her family together.
