Hi, my name is Bella

I'm 23, a business owner, disability advocate, and dance enthusiast with Down Syndrome. I currently live in the Adelaide Hills with my mother but would love to live independently. I have worked very hard throughout my life to develop my independence and encourage others with disabilities to do the same. My hard work along with the support of my community has allowed me to run a successful tea business (Magnolia tea house). My next step towards independence is to find a home in Mount Barker so I can continue to build my business and access the community. I have at last found a small block of land and have house plans ready to go - all I need is some further support to help me fund this dream. Any donations would be so appreciated, not only to support me to be able to continue developing my autonomy, but also in advocating for others and being an example of what people with Down Syndrome can achieve. Your support would also inspire hope for a better future where people with varying disabilities can be included within our society.

With gratitude,

Bella ❤️
