My new client was burned to 75% of her body as a toddler. Her heart, resilience and strength is an inspiration.

She had a sponsor pull out last minute for her next trip to spend time in the USA alongside others and learn about new treatment options and advancement in treatments and spend time with her extended network of friends. It's an event of healing and growing. It's massively important to her and her family to attend.

I've encouraged her to reach out for help and that's it's OK to ask for help so she has set this up with encouragement from myself.

I've got approval to share her story.

Please share to your network friends.

Hey All 👋

I've begun the process to ask for support for my local council to build a fully accessable community garden.

But we need to show that people would support and or use the garden.

Please join and show your support. I'll be updating the group as I hear back from the Marion Council re my application.

I'll also need to find local businesses to help donate and support by helping build this as well as seek additional support to have the ability to build and grow this.

I'm picturing chickens, big plots people can lease to grow in, a place to put excess foods to help those in need and a focus on local cultural and native foods.

I picture sessions with local schools to come and plant their own seedlings, pick eggs, and fundraise for local families doing it tough.

I have too many ideas to write down. ✍️

But you get the gist.

Hi Team,

I am potentially looking at hiring.

I want to ensure I am growing organically and want to keep my caseload low so I have the time to mentor and hire the right person or persons.

I am happy to train someone up who hasn't worked in this role pending they are willing to listen and learn.

But I am in absolutely no rush, it has to be the right fit for me and someone who compliments my experience with opposite skills.

If you're interested please inbox me. 😄

Oooooh what an idea!

[Image Description: A post by glorythreadz (with a z) Now everyone's coming back in to the office, we've upgraded our lanyards so we all know we're comfortable. (🙌). The accompanying photograph, shows three containers of brightly-colored neck lanyards for ID cards and such. Each has a sign with text in a corresponding color. Red: Hi! I'm keeping my distance. Orange: Okay with talking but not touching. Green: Okay with hugs and high-fives. A faint watermark says British Memes. End ID].

When I talk about going above and beyond I mean it. These aren't just buzz words for me.

I also practice what I preach.

Today my wonderful client finished a detox program.

I welcomed them home with a gift of a plant to care for and nurture and some basic groceries to fill the fridge and pantry.

Because no one wants to have to go shopping when getting out of hospital.

It's the little things that make all the difference.

We're here to change lives and I mean that with every ounce of my being.

Blessed to be able to give back. 🙏

May or may not be a realistic representation!

I truly love my job but let me tell you this week has been intense!

But with huge change in my clients life comes huge action on my part.

I am so beyond proud of the huge steps one of my clients have taken.

It may have meant sleepless nights and constant follow up, liaising with several parties to ensure continuity and the occasional firm conversation with external parties who have ZERO skills to work with someone in crisis (who originally told my client they don't have to talk to me) but after an escalation was calling me quick fast for my assistance in managing the participant!

But when your client is ready to make a change for the good you don't get to say slow down. We've been waiting months for this! So...

You strap in and hold on for deal life!

Hi all,

My name is Bonnie and I am an NDIS coordinator with current and immediate capacity in 2023

I believe in the right fit for each participants needs and as such I keep my caseload low and have extensive experience in the following;

* SIL and AT mobility supports/aids/Wheelchairs - electirc and manual/Walkers
* Home Mods applications
* ASD/ABI/stroke/dementia/MS/ Huntingtons/CP/lung disease
* Glaucoma and other sight related concerns either partial or full blindness.
* Down syndrome and other rarer conditions such as Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome and other disorders that affect cognitive ability
* Children's plans and first plans whereby the funding is horrendous and a proven track record to rectify this and increase funding.
* Pallative/end of life experience navigating the mainstream and NDIS obligations to advocate for your choice and control to pass as you wish despite the heavy pushed from mainstream to be hospitalised in order to do so.

I am happy to discuss your individual needs free of charge to discuss if I am the right fit for you. If I don't feel I am the right fit I have a team of qualified and experienced and well respected SC's in the sector to refer you onto whom I can personally reccomend and have worked with so I know their ethics and approaches to reccommend the right person for you.

I believe in a team approach and that alll parties should work together effectively to support you to reach your goals.

I also look to reccomend other alternative supports both mainstream or otherwise in order to support you, I don't believe NDIS is the be all and end all of supports and as such have an extensive network of those ready to support you with whatever you need support with and ideas and options across many sectors including health, religious, food and financial supports, training, schooling and adult education and employment.

If this sounds like the SC for you either comment below or please email me on;

Info@alphabetacare.com.au

Alternatively you can call me on;

Kind regards
