Supporting Loved Ones Through Disability
In this heartfelt discussion, Rossane Gay shares the journey of supporting her brother and father through the years, highlighting the pivotal moments when they first received disability support. Her brother, who had polio and was in a wheelchair, started receiving formal care around the age of 25 in Dandenong. Initially, they organised four hours of care a day for her father, and soon after, she decided to move both of them closer to me in Croydon, especially as her father was diagnosed with cancer.
The conversation focuses on the type of care and support he received rather than specific organisations or names, as the story of our experience is what truly matters. It’s about navigating the challenges together, ensuring her brother had a fulfilling life despite his limitations, and the role of support services in making that possible.
This video offers a personal glimpse into her family’s journey and the importance of accessible care and community support.
