Shani, who is currently divorced and works at a nearby Winners store’s jewelry counter, explained that her motivation stems from her desire to make her life better and greater after realizing she didn’t want to live the life her father was living. Brady and his
siblings were deeply impacted by her strong work ethics. “I lived in the co-op [housing], and what I would do is go around the neighbourhood and put
flyers in people’s mailboxes and then start cutting grass in the summertime and [do] snow removal in the wintertime,” Brady recalled. He helped his mother
out and bought a mobile with the money. Sometimes there wasn’t a lot of food in the refrigerator when you opened it, and
I was able to purchase items for my family at the supermarket with the extra money I had.” According to Shani, Kyle works in a group home in Winnipeg and
aspires to run his own one day. Kyle has competed in mixed martial arts and boxing. Kallee attended the University of Winnipeg on a soccer scholarship,
majored in criminal justice, and is employed by the Manitoba Law Courts. Brady is content with his dad’s sporadic communication, saying, “I turned the
negative into a positive.” “It’s more so wanting him to get better for himself first and then have a relationship,” Brady said.
