Make content about: Geraldine cares full-time for Marcus
Geraldine cares full-time for her non-verbal son Marcus, relying on outdoor camping trips to give their family a break.
This story
Marcus was diagnosed with low-functioning autism before nursery and is non-verbal, needing daily support with washing, hygiene and danger awareness. Geraldine and Desmond recently took out a guardianship order to oversee his care after school. Grants have funded camping equipment and a boating trip, giving the family moments of rest from round-the-clock caring.
