Ronda Brewer, a 65-year-old grandmother in Surry County, North Carolina, has dedicated the past 18 years to raising her five grandchildren—Nathan (18), Caden (16), Aubrey (11), Jackson (9), and Waylon (3). Despite her own health challenges, including COPD and living on a fixed income, Ronda has provided a loving and stable home for the children throughout their lives. Their parents have struggled with addiction and have never been involved in their lives, leaving Ronda as their sole support. She receives only SNAP benefits, which barely cover the basics, but she has always made sure the kids are cared for and together, refusing to let them be separated or enter the foster care system.

Recently, Ronda’s world was turned upside down. After a family dispute and an unfortunate accident involving her daughter’s vehicle, her landlord has asked her to move out of the only home the children have ever known. Ronda has explored every possible resource—homeless shelters, government housing, and Section 8 programs—but nothing is available. Now, she faces the urgent need to find a new place to live, ideally closer to her sister in Wilkes County, so she can have family support. The funds raised will go directly toward securing a safe and stable home for Ronda and the children, covering the security deposit, first and last month’s rent, moving expenses, and much-needed repairs to her aging van. Every donation will help keep this family together and give them a chance at stability during an incredibly difficult time.

Ronda’s strength and love have kept her grandchildren safe and together against all odds. Supporting this fundraiser means helping a grandmother who has given everything for her family, ensuring these five children continue to have the home and care they deserve.
