Make content about: Jessica gets to just be a child
At eleven, Jessica helps care for her younger brother every day. Respite breaks give her space to just be a child.
This story
Jessica lives in Ayrshire and helps care for her younger brother Dominic, who has complex health and behavioural needs. Daily life at home revolves around his care, leaving her with little time for herself or friends outside school. Respite breaks have given her time away to make friends, try science experiments, and focus on crafting.
