Campaign idea: Dominique cares for her brother Micah
Thirteen-year-old Dominique balances cooking, shopping and caring for her younger brother with support from a local young carers group.
This story
At thirteen, Dominique helps care for her non-verbal brother Micah following his autism diagnosis in 2023. Alongside helping her mum with cooking and shopping, she watches Micah while managing the exhaustion of communication barriers. Support from a local young carers group gives her regular time for herself and activities she enjoys.
