I have Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) which affects my balance, coordination and energy levels. I use a wheelchair most of the time and I'm very independent and always try to do as much as I can myself. I'm really chatty & friendly, and I'm looking for people who won't just be a reliable carer but someone I can get along with and build a good relationship with too.

Female (preferred) applicants aged 18+ - Kind, patient and reliable
