ILF!

Independent living funding

Hello My name is Nadia Clarke I live in Halifax West Yorkshire and I’m 22 years old. I’m deaf and have a cerebral palsy. I have a big team of gorgeous ladies, personal assistants for 14 years.

I need personal assistants because make me independent without my family and they care for me. All my personal assistants can use British Sign Language this is important for me because Personal Assistants communicate with me.  My personal assistants also support me with my   personal care and support me whilst I work, also safeguard me against vulnerability in the community. It is good relationship with personal assistants because like emotional, understanding and communication.

If the Government close the independent living funding, I don’t want to go to care home and have social isolation. I will lose my life because I have many opportunities for me in the future. New staffs can’t use sign language and maybe I will not use communication aid because they don’t understand about it. I don’t want my parents look after me because I’m worrying about they will be old and have not enough money in the future. My brothers and sisters have jobs and busy life. I feel like back history, all disabled will end up in an institution with no rights and no money.


Thank you for listening to me.
