About the Person You'll Be Supporting

In September 2024, I suffered a serious injury at work that resulted in multiple fractures to my legs and knees, requiring several surgeries, external fixation and the insertion of metal rods and screws. The accident also caused significant psychological trauma and distress. Before the injury, I worked in a factory, was physically fit and enjoyed spending time outdoors, while raising my teenage son. I live with him in a two-bedroom terraced house, along with our cat and his pet rats. I have a close relationship with my parents, who, together with my son, provide me with valuable support. I take pride in my home and like things to be well-organised, though due to ongoing pain and fatigue, I now require substantial support with managing and maintaining my home, meal preparation and daily tasks. Companionship is also important to me, as days can sometimes feel long and isolating. I am passionate about the outdoors and love being able to get out on my mobility scooter, which has allowed me to enjoy nature again. I have also discovered a love for jewellery making and take great satisfaction in creating something beautiful. In my downtime, I enjoy watching TV shows, particularly those with multiple series that I can relax and binge-watch.
