I've been caring for my Mum for years and sometimes it's really difficult. Thankfully my Mum's GP put me in contact with Vocal to get some support but I had no idea just how superb that support would be. I couldn't believe it when a voice at the other end of the phone asked me how I was doing and when I started talking about Mum the voice said "I'm not asking about your Mum, I'm asking about you". I cried; and through many tears of sadness, anger and laughter they've helped me get back my sense of self. All carers need to know that there is someone there that they can turn to when things look black, who'll listen without judgment, make you a cup of tea and say "would you like me to help you fill out that form?" They're the best, and anything you can donate would be so welcomed both by Vocal and the carers of people in Lothian.
