Hi
My name is
Nadia Clarke. I am from Halifax, West Yorkshire. I am 22 years old, I'm deaf
and have Cerebral Palsy.
I am working
for an organisation called Triangle in Brighton. I am also doing English at
Bradford college. Sometimes I give presentations at different venues about my
life. I regularly go to meetings and conferences for organisations and
charities like One Voice and Quiet Riot. I am often involved in campaigning for
disability rights.
I go to
Rainbow House in Ormskirk every week for physiotherapy. I have a
physiotherapist visit me at home too and I regularly go swimming.
I love going
to the cinema, theatre and going to see live music. I like going out for a
drink, meet friends, shopping and going on holiday.
In the
future I want travel the world, studying at University, live independently, become
a model, interview famous people, become a working advisor for Disability Rights
and to have a relationship and children.
I feel so
worried about the possible closure of the Independent Living Fund next year. If I have no Personal Assistants this will change
my life, it will be terrible because I will feel so depressed, have mind and
health problems, do nothing but stay at home all day and watch TV. My parents will have to look after me but how
they have no money and my life will worthless.
Many disabled
people need money for Independent Living Fund it is really important for our health
and well-being.
Thank you
for listening to me.
