Over the following days, she began the long and expensive legal process to become her grandmother’s official legal guardian.

Her uncle and his wife were absolutely furious and flooded her phone with angry calls, first branding her a gold digger chasing a fortune that didn’t exist.

Then they took to the family group chat to lie, claiming Callie had only kept the elderly woman around to collect government assistance checks.

Later, Joel even showed up at her apartment building, banging loudly on the door and demanding to be let in immediately.

“I’m warning you, kid—that old woman doesn’t even know her own name, so stop using her craziness to make yourself look important,” he yelled.

At the sound of his aggressive voice, Geneva let out a cry of fear and hid behind Callie’s legs, trembling uncontrollably.

That was the last straw for Callie, who decided she was done playing nice with people who treated her grandmother like trash.
