When Carla’s father asked her to move out to make room for a new baby, her world seemed to crumble. Her mother’s death when she was ten had already left a void, and this new blow felt devastating.
Carla, now 21, had lived with her father, stepmother Linda, and their children since she was fifteen. Despite her efforts to adjust, including paying rent from her job, Dad’s sudden demand to leave was shocking. Desperate, Carla reached out to Aunt Lisa, who welcomed her with open arms.
Grandpa stepped in, offering Carla options: stay with her aunt, move in with him and Grandma, or find her own place with financial support. Carla chose to live in Grandpa’s rental unit, which came with a $15,000 check and rent-free conditions as long as she worked or studied.
