We tell our estara support workers, you are part of our family now we can't do this without you. I want them to know they are truly valued.

For a long time, I was not walking. Following intensive physiotherapy, including daily appointments with the physiotherapist, EO and frequent access to the centre, I began to take a few steps with a frame. With support, I challenged myself day by day and hour by hour.
