Welcome to my CrowdRaiser page. I am raising ongoing funds for a cause that is deeply personal to me: Carers Victoria.
As a carer for my two boys, both of whom are on the autism spectrum with ADHD and other disabilities, I know firsthand the reality of navigating this journey entirely without support. Caring for children with extremely high additional needs is driven by profound love, but it also brings intense, unrelenting challenges. The physical, emotional, and mental burnout that carers experience is a very real, often silent struggle faced behind closed doors.
I have chosen to support Carers Victoria because they serve as the statewide voice for unpaid carers. They provide essential advocacy, education, and direct support to those who dedicate their lives to caring for loved ones with disabilities. When the system feels overwhelming and exhaustion sets in, having an organization that understands and actively supports carer wellbeing is a crucial lifeline.
By contributing to this ongoing fundraiser, you are directly helping Carers Victoria provide that critical support to families like mine. No carer should have to reach the point of severe burnout to be seen or helped.
Thank you for your generosity, your empathy, and for standing with carers.
