Disability advocate’s plea: keep us together
FOUR months ago, cerebral palsy sufferer Tess Pearce was living with her severely arthritic mother and getting just one hour of care a day.
Today, Tess, 20, is getting six hours’ daily care and preparing to move to Melbourne after her relationship with her mother started to suffer and she was relinquished to the Department of Human Services to get both of them the support they needed.
