Story
For many families caring for a child with a disability, Christmas is a time of added stress and financial strain. Sarah’s family (name changed for privacy) knows this all too well. Sarah is a full-time carer for her son, Jamie, who has a complex disability. With expensive specialised equipment, therapy, and frequent hospital visits, their household budget is stretched thin.
Sarah had to leave her job to care for Jamie, while her partner works long hours to cover the bills. Their older children, while loving Jamie, sometimes miss out on holiday activities due to the demands of care. During Christmas, the pressure to provide gifts and festive meals only adds to their challenges.
With your support, families like Sarah’s can receive personalised gifts and festive meals this Christmas, allowing them to experience the joy of the season. Your generosity will help lighten their load and show them they are not alone.
