Blog post: Janine’s story.

Janine’s story is one of resilience, determination, and a passion for creativity. She has always been drawn to artistic endeavors, with a particular love for fashion designing, events, and floristry. Every interest she pursues exudes her unique flair and imaginative spirit.

However, Janine faced numerous challenges on her journey to receiving the support she needed. It took her an arduous 1.5 years of advocacy and determination to secure Supported Independent Living (SIL) funding through the NDIS. Along the way, she encountered the difficulty of finding the right provider who could truly understand her needs and aspirations.

Prior to discovering True Living, Janine had experienced living with multiple providers, feeling unsafe, unsatisfied, and like just another number in the NDIS system. Her needs were left unmet, hindering her progress and potential for growth.

When Janine found True Living, everything changed. True Living took the time to understand her unique goals and challenges, crafting a personalized care plan tailored to her specific needs. With True Living’s support, Janine felt seen, heard, and valued as an individual.

True Living not only focused on Janine’s health and lifestyle, but also guided her in the direction of her work life. Recognising her long-term aspiration to open a clothing business for kids, True Living worked closely with Janine to identify the necessary steps towards achieving this dream.

One of these steps involved enrolling Janine in a TAFE course for fashion. Through True Living’s encouragement and assistance, Janine gained the knowledge and skills she needed to excel in her chosen field. With every class and project, her confidence and expertise blossomed.

Janine’s journey with True Living is a testament to the transformative power of personalised care and support. Today, she stands on the cusp of realising her dreams. With her newfound skills, and the ongoing support of True Living, Janine is poised to launch her own clothing business for kids—a venture that combines her love for fashion with her creative spirit.

Janine’s story is a reminder that, with the right support system and a commitment to empowering individuals, anything is possible. True Living’s dedication to understanding their clients’ dreams, aspirations, and unique needs has helped Janine thrive and embrace her full potential.
