Yukon Grandma Juggles Four Grandkids, Full Job, No Retirement, Zero Chill
KEY POINTS
- •Cindy Chiasson, 63, raised four daughters and now cares full-time for four grandchildren in Canada’s Yukon Territory.
- •Her eldest daughter’s addiction and domestic violence led Cindy to gain custody of the grandchildren, ages 9 to 24.
- •Despite working full-time managing a women’s transition home, Cindy struggles with high rent prices and lack of government support.
Cindy Chiasson, 63, is the Canadian wonder-multitasker: raising four grandchildren aged 9 to 24, working full-time managing a Yukon women’s transition home, and surviving a housing market so brutal even Habitat for Humanity joined the chaos. Her daughter’s addiction and domestic violence left Cindy playing dodgeball with social workers and cops who knocked at 10 p.m. demanding custody. The rent allegedly spikes up to $4,000 a month for a place barely fit for a family, with utilities solo pricing like a royal heist. Cindy’s 24-year-old furthest grandkid still can’t move out—even full-time jobs don’t rescue you from Yukon’s apocalypse housing. Talk about a long-haul grandparent gig with zero retirement plan and all the social drama of a small town soap opera.
