Help Jules move house!
Donation protected
Imagine breaking over 100 bones in your life time, sometimes from some thing as simple as a sneeze?
Hi, my name is Kiara and I'd like you to meet my Aunty Julie.
Aunty Jules (aka AJ) suffers from a rare bone disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta or, more commonly known as , brittle bone disease.
AJ was born with over 14 fractures and spent a signicant amount of her childhood in plaster from her chest down. She had to wheel herself around on a skateboard because the plaster wouldn't even let her sit on a wheelchair.
It's an understatement to say she's had a tough gig in life. But despite her disability, AJ has given life everything she's got.
In fact, if you didn't know she was in a wheelchair, you wouldn't have a clue what's she's been through.
AJ is a TAFE teacher with more passion for her job than anyone I know. She rents her own home and she pays taxes and bills, just like you and I.
The funny thing is, when AJ is healthy enough to work, she doesn't even claim a disability pension and gets minimal support from the government at all.
But AJ has had a bit of a rough patch this year and 2016 hasn't been so kind.
She was diagnosed with fibromayalga (a chronic pain disease), she had a fall out of her chair which resulted in a cracked hip, she's broken over 5 ribs, she's had two fractures in her shoulder blade, and another hip injury.
To top it all off, her landlord has decided to sell the villa she has lived in for 8 years. If an owner buys it she will have to move, and if an investor buys it and puts the rent up, she might have to move anyway.
Moving house is a stressful time for anyone. But for AJ it's particularly hard. There is cleaning to be done, boxes to be packed, furniture to move, carpet to be cleaned etc.
Finding a rental towards Christmas time is hard but it's even harder to find something accessible.
There can't be any stairs otherwise she can't get up, there can't be tight corners in the hallway otherwise the chair won't fit. She needs a motorised garage door because she can't pull it down herself, and the list goes on.
Because of all her injuries, AJ hasn't been able to work this year and money is pretty tight.
Any money you can spare will help Aunty Jules if she has to move or even find temporary accommodation.
AJ has a of gold and would do anything for anyone. She's helped me through tough times growing up and been my second mum. She's helped countless friends through weddings, children, divorce, you name it.
Now it's AJ's turn to be given a hand, so any donation big or small will make a big difference to a special and inspirational Aunty.
Lots of love and thank you,
Kiara
