About Kayden's family

Hope for the Holidays

This family shines as a beacon of resilience and entrepreneurship. With a thriving seafood and BBQ catering business, the parents set an inspiring example for their four children, who eagerly dive into their own ventures—yard work, bicycle repairs, and even hairstyling from their teenage sister. Despite the challenges of living in temporary accommodations while their inherited home undergoes much-needed repairs, the family's spirits remain high. They’ve found joy in their side hustles, all while ensuring their children stay engaged in school and sports.

With the holidays approaching, their excitement is palpable, yet they dream even bigger for 2025. Firefly has lent a helping hand by providing clothing and school uniforms, fostering a sense of normalcy amid uncertainty. The family embodies the power of unity and perseverance, waiting patiently to return to a safe home where they can flourish together. This holiday season, they remind us that hope and determination can light the way, even in the toughest of times.
