Client is a very elderly Aboriginal Grandmother who is the full-time carer disabled grandson. Her 10-year-old grandson has skeletal dysplasia and diastrophic dysplasia and requires full time supervision. Client is not in good health and works hard to keep her head above water whilst making her grandson’s health her priority. Being elderly does impact her when she is constantly needing to travel from Armidale to Sydney to seek the specialist treatment her young grandson needs that is not available in Armidale, not to mention the added burden of the costs associated with travel & accommodation.
The costs of the medical needs for special shoes and a wheelchair are significant and a stretch for her to afford without assistance. She is currently struggling to make ends meet just for the basics of food, electricity not to mention the increasing medical expenses.
Assistance with food and clothing vouchers would relieve some of the anxiety and stress.
