Make content about: Jack helps care for his mum
Five-year-old Jack helps care for his mum Charlie, who lives with multiple sclerosis.
This story
Charlie lives with multiple sclerosis, which can make moving around and everyday household tasks difficult. At five years old, Jack helps her by carrying shopping, collecting items around the house and emptying the dishwasher. Through support from a local young carers organisation, Jack attends activities and makes friends while Charlie gets time to rest.
