MAKING A DIFFERENCE
IN THE LIVES OF FAMILIES
Meet the Lanes. Jen and Phil have been married for
over 50 years and their daughter, Sarah, is their world.
Up until recently, Sarah hadn’t been on her own for more than a
few days at a time. With support and encouragement from the team
at Your Supports, Jen and Phil decided to take the plunge and spend
six weeks overseas, catching up with family and friends. The Bridge
helped put the necessary supports in place and Sarah managed
exceptionally well and was able to 昀氀ourish.
Jen said “This trip was something we never thought possible.
For Phil and I to have this break has been awesome. This would
not have been possible without the dedication of the Your Supports
team, and Sarah’s main support workers, who showed incredible
commitment to enable this trip to happen.”
Phil added “One of the best things that has come out if this, is that
Sarah has grown so much in her independence, and this break has
given us faith that Sarah will be con昀椀dent and more independent
(with support) in the future. Jen and I are very proud of her.”
