In desperate need of Time Out

by Christine
(Ayrshire, Scotland)

Id love to take my daughter to Disneyland Paris. She's autistic and has learning disabilities.

She has been a great help to Gran, seeing her through cancer last year and has been so patient with me as I've been practically housebound for the past 4 months with arthritis. I'm awaiting a hip replacement.

Bullying, struggling with school work and not being accepted by peers. I think she deserves a break.

The wee soul has asked to go to Disneyland for years, can you help me to make her dream come true?

ANSWER:

Hi Christine I'm really sorry but Charities will only fund oversea trips for children with life limiting or life threatening conditions.

As your daughter has helped care for yourself and your mum your local carers group may have some funding for Young Carers to have a break. I think these two might be the ones closest to you....
