Raising for the Read Triplets:
Triplets Gideon, Anwen and Mahalah Read were each born with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy. They each have significant medical, mobility and independent living needs.
The trio are engaging and determined individuals, and, until recently, all lived at home in remote NSW, with their full-time carer-parents, Jemimah and Ben.
Anwen, Mahalah and Gideon have now each completed high school and are embarking on their own adventures as young adults! But - as anyone living with a disability knows- there are constant obstacles that frustrate their independence and opportunities.
The aim of 'Raising for the Read Triplets Inc.' is to empower Anwen, Mahalah and Gideon to achieve independent and fulfilling lives. Particularly where the NDIS or the health system cannot or will not meet their needs.
The chairty's aims have included:
Current Position:
We are now assisting Anwen, Mahalah and Gideon with tertiary education access and support, as they each embark on their own lives as young adults, out of the family home.
Mahalah has moved on campus to study a Bachelor of Science & the Arts at the University of Wollongong. She aims to one day work in the field of Molecular Biology.
Gideon has moved on campus to Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. He is currently studying an Undergraduate Certificate in I.T. He aims to go on to a degree in Cyber Security.
Anwen is looking to leave home and move to Canberra this year, as soon as she can find suitable supported accommodation. She looks forward to being a normal resident of Canberra and settling in before starting a course in ancient cultures.
The charity has been instrumental in supporting Anwen, Mahalah and Gideon as they make this very difficult transition to independent adult life. We thank all of our donors who have empowered and given hope to the family.
We invite you to share our adventures, and help Anwen, Mahalah and Gideon realise full lives! Head to https://www.readtripletsinc.org.au/ for more information.
