My Travel Story

by: Haley-Ann Sprogis Start Date: Jul 25, 2016 - End Date: Nov 24, 2016
To be able to afford a family holiday has been very difficult. My partner who has Aspergers is unable to keep a steady job for lack of social skills and interpersonal relationships with the general public. our second born Jak who is 12 and in his final yr at primary school was also diagnosed with Aspergers and although the condition appears to be quite manageable it has affected Jaks life to the extend that he is slowly becoming more homebound and less active out and about during the day. Simple things such as tying his shoes for school seems absolutely impossible however we get around that by purchasing shoes that don't have laces. Both Chris my partner and Jak our first born son are a lot of work both emotionally and physically. Then there's Jim our youngest he's an absolute parents worst nightmare when it comes to containing him and his outbursts and radical reactions to what seem like everyday normal situations - not to mention his destruction of anything that's smashable. All in all we are tearing our hair out and just need time out - all of us.
To sum it all up I'm asking for funding to grant my family a much needed holiday that we have never had before .. This would be a dream come true and we would be forever thankful to anyone who takes the time out to read our story... Thank you ... Remember to keep smilin ..it brightens every day! Xxx
