Cody is fourteen years old. Although he is non-verbal and has complex care needs, he lights up the room wherever he goes. He has been supported by Able’s Children’s Respite service for more than eight years.
At respite, he can enjoy activities and special outings alongside friends, creating fun experiences and lasting memories.
For Cody’s mum, Mel, that trusted support makes a real diffence. “Children’s Respite has honestly been a lifesaver,” she says. “It gives us room to breathe.”
Your donation will help us give new toys, games and fun activities to young people with disability like Cody.
