A message from our amazing support worker, Jenna 💙
“One of the greatest parts of my job is watching our participants take that brave first step beyond their comfort zone and then seeing them light up as they realise what they’re capable of. This weekend, I had the privilege of watching Kerry do exactly that.
Being in a space filled with people who truly understood her journey made such a difference. Every person there had lived through a stroke and was now navigating life with aphasia, and that shared experience created an atmosphere that felt warm, safe and deeply encouraging.
From gentle yoga stretches and bush walks to lively group games, singing, and heartfelt conversations over shared stories, it was wonderful to see Kerry grow more confident with each passing moment. Watching her smile, join in, and connect so naturally with others who understood her experience so well was incredibly moving.
Hearing everyone’s stories the challenges they’ve faced, the strength they’ve shown, and the lives they continue to build, was both inspiring and humbling. Weekends like this remind me exactly why I do what I do. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone find their footing, build real connections, and enjoy moments they may once have thought were out of reach”
We’re so proud of you, Kerry. ❤️
