Mum with cognitive challenges, expecting baby, striving for a better life for her kids despite hardship
A young mother is facing challenges as she raises her 10-month-old child while preparing for the arrival of a second baby. Without family support and living in temporary hotel accommodation, she is doing her best to create stability for herself and young family. Her cognitive developmental delays make it difficult to access employment and navigate essential services, compounding the stress of her situation. Despite a history marked by adversity, she remains deeply committed to building a better life for her children. Her resilience is evident in the way she continues to show up for her family every day and accessing support services to navigate challenges parents face, she is working hard to be the best mum she can be. Support during this critical time would help ease the pressure and allow her to focus on nurturing her young family.
