With our support, Youngcare continues to change the lives of young people with complex physical disability and their families by delivering vital grant programs, developing Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), advocating for policy change and providing advice through their free support service.

Meet James and his family.

In the early 90s, newlyweds Dorcia and Barry were raising their two-year-old daughter Samantha and a newborn son. But one night, their dreams for the future were tragically ripped away when Dorcia checked on a five-month-old James as he slept and found him completely blue and unable to breathe. 

This is their story.
