When Krinda Caron heard of an unimaginable tragedy striking her family, she and her fiancé didn’t hesitate to step up and open their hearts and home.
Her only aunt, Jessica Caron was killed on Feb. 1. Her husband is currently in custody facing a second-degree murder charge.
The tragedy didn’t just leave a hole in the family, it briefly left Jessica Caron’s four children without a parent to look after them. That was until Caron offered to take care of the siblings.
“I'm going to take care of them like they're my own, like their parents knew that I would,” Caron said. “I've always done that for them anyways and I could never let four kids go to the system when we have so much love to give.”
Caron can’t ignore how the four kids entering their home have changed nearly every aspect of everyday life. The energetic siblings — ranging from ages six to 12, including a set of twins — are rather 'energetic,' according to Caron. Rather than dwell on the devastation, the new family is rallying around each other as a source of inspiration.
“I've spent so much time with these kids that I know them, I know their interests,” she said. “So it's just been a fun ride. I think for us, we're making it the best fun ride we can.”
Allison Hornby, Caron’s sister-in-law, has been in awe of how the group has taken every day in stride.
