I’m Abby, 28, and I live near my Grandma Rosie, who raised me after my mom passed. She’s always been my anchor. When she started going to a new senior center, I wasn’t worried. But after a while, she became distant and cold, saying things like, “Old people are just baggage.”
I found a disturbing note in her things, convincing her that her family only cared about her money. I realized someone was manipulating her, and I suspected Claire, a volunteer at the center.
After investigating, I discovered Claire had been targeting seniors, convincing them to change their wills. I showed Grandma the evidence, and she broke down, revealing how scared she was of being a burden. Together, we reported Claire, and she was banned from the center.
To help Grandma heal, I suggested starting a quilting group at her house, inviting others who’d been affected. Grandma smiled for the first time in months, and I reminded her she’s not a burden—she’s my family, and nothing will change that.
