Charlez, Bevan and Synthia were orphaned after a tragic crash near their home at Kondinin, in the eastern Wheatbelt, on Christmas Day in 2022.
Their parents Cyndi Braddock and Jake Day were killed.
The trio were left to fend for themselves on the side of the road for almost three days before help arrived.
They were taken in by their grandmother Annette Day who said the three kids are her “sunshine”.
“We have our bad days, we’ve had quite a few bad days, but that’s OK you just keep on keeping on,” Day told 9News.
“They all know everything, I think the fact of the way it all was, being there being in the car with mum and dad for those couple of days I think that’s what maybe made it so real for them.”
But life for Day is very different now as the full-time carer for her grandchildren trying to keep their lives as normal as possible in Kondinin after their horror experience.
“This is their hometown – close to mum and dad – where they should be,” she said.
After losing their parents, the community rallied around the siblings raising more than $100,000.
“(The money) bought a car, so I can get the kids around and there will be no more breaking down,” she said.
“And the house so they’ve got a roof over their head and they’re settled and we can be in one spot forever for them.”

But their forever home is in desperate need of repair.
“I’ve never been one to ask for help, so it’s hard for me to figure that one out – bathroom definitely needs a good going over, it’s quite old,” she said.
Until the fence, kitchen, bedroom ceilings and bathrooms are fixed up – it’s not safe for the young family to move in.
They’re looking for help with tradie skills and materials.
“The foundations are there – some love and care – it will all come out so wonderful,” she said.
“It’s all for the children, so they can have a nice easy life now.”
Seven months on from the crash, the scene is filled with tributes and flowers.
Although it is a place of deep sadness it is also a place the kids visit often with their loved ones to share memories and milestones with their parents.
“I’m hoping they’re looking down, they’re happy, they will be, so it will be all good,” she said.
The family’s hope now is to make the house a home with the helping hands of strangers.
