Campaign Story
A Grandmother’s love – Caring for Abused Grandchildren
Mdm Katijah*, is a 63-year-old grandmother who is caring for two of her grandchildren after her daughter is unable to care for them. She has been caring for her 15-year-old granddaughter since she was a baby and her 13-year-old grandson for the past 3 years.
Mdm Katijah informs us that she started caring for her grandson in 2017 after he was abused by his stepfather. Mdm Katijah further informs us that when her grandson first lived with her, he had swelling and bruises on his eye and cigarette burns on his arms.
Guilt of a Grandmother
Mdm Katijah works as a Bus Attendant and earns S$800 nett a month. With her salary, she is unable to fully support and feed her two grandchildren. To make matters worse, her daughter constantly pressurises her for money. She feels guilty when her grandchildren eat instant noodles on most days, but she can’t help it as with her salary, money is tight.
“I always tell my grandchildren that they cannot be picky. Even if they have to fry an egg and eat with plain rice, that is all that I can afford”- Mdm Katijah informs us with tears in her eye.
Feed Mdm Katijah and Her Grandchildren
At Mdm Katijah’s age, she should be enjoying her near retirement instead, she is now the main caretaker and sole breadwinner of her two teenage grandchildren. They mostly consume instant noodles at home and do not have proper nutrition.
Ray of Hope is raising S$900 (S$150 x 6 months) to defray the family’s groceries expenses for 6 months. Please give hope to Mdm Katijah and her two innocent grandchildren!
* Name has been changed to protect the identity of Mdm Katijah and her grandchildren
