A Heart for Every Child

In a quiet suburb of Alberton, one home has become a haven of hope. Behind its doors, Lynn Tyack, founder of Just One Love (JOL), has opened her heart and home to children in desperate need of care, stability, and love.

Since 2013, Lynn’s home has been a place of safety for 44 abandoned and abusedchildren, each finding comfort, protection, and belonging under her care. Some stayed for a few months, others for years and a few, forever. Among them were premature twins who thrived under her care until adoption, and a little girl with Down Syndrome and a serious heart condition, whom Lynn has fostered since she was six weeks old. She currently cares for six children, with a newborn arriving in January 2026.

Lynn’s journey is one of resilience, compassion, and faith. After losing her mother in 2013, she’s dedicated her life to creating a safe space for children who had nowhere else to go. “This calling fuelled my soul,” she says. “It gave me a sense of purpose and belonging where I had once felt emptiness.”

Every day brings challenges from meeting the emotional needs to ensuring they receive proper medical care, nutrition, and stability. Yet Lynn continues, driven by love and the belief that every child deserves a fair start in life.

Over the past three years, The Star Foundation has been honoured to support Lynn’s mission to restore dignity, safety, and hope for children who’ve faced unimaginable circumstances, ensuring she has the essentials needed to continue her vital work.

Lynn’s story reminds us that love given freely and consistently, can truly change lives.
