Gillian Anthea Van De Cruize is more than just an advocate—she is a beacon of hope and transformation for young women facing life’s toughest battles. Born in Georgetown, Guyana, and now residing in Jonesboro, GA, Gillian’s journey has been shaped by resilience, compassion, and an unshakable commitment to uplifting others.
As a devoted mother of three, she has experienced profound loss, including the heartbreaking passing of her daughter, Chanda—a teenage mother of two. Turning her pain into purpose, Gillian founded Chanda’s Tender Loved Care Inc., ensuring that young women who have faced abandonment, homelessness, domestic abuse, and parental loss receive the support, guidance, and empowerment they deserve.
Gillian’s passion for service extends beyond advocacy. As a certified life coach and dedicated caregiver, she nurtures both hearts and minds, offering mentorship, resources, and a community of unwavering support. Her love for cooking reflects her nurturing spirit—feeding not just bodies but also souls with warmth and kindness.
Currently pursuing a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Minor in Communications with Media Studies at Clayton State University, Gillian is committed to amplifying voices that are too often unheard. Her vision is clear: to create a world where no young woman feels alone in her struggles and where every girl, regardless of her past, can rise with confidence, purpose, and hope.
Chanda’s Tender Loved Care Inc. is committed to creating a world where young girls are valued and supported.
We offer guidance, resources, and a nurturing community to help girls rise above their struggles and realize their full potential.
