Kiara's Story

Through hard work and support from the Nexus Capacity Building Team, Kiara has rebuilt her life and discovered her independence.

“Having Nexus support and people I trust helped me realise that I can do things. Nexus definitely helped me with that,” Kiara said. “Now I know I’m not just a girl with a disability.”

With support from our Capacity Building team, Kiara has achieved some major milestones.

She got her learner’s licence, moved into her own home, and started volunteering at a primary school!

“I’ve become more comfortable talking to people and trusting others. I’m also more confident about going out to places with my partner,” Kiara said.

The Nexus Support team was by her side as she built new routines and rediscovered joy in everyday life.

Together with her Nexus team, Kiara cooked meals, went for walks, did the shopping, learned how to budget, and even tackled cleaning—something Kiara admits wasn’t always her favourite thing to do!

As she prepares to get her full licence with support from the Nexus team, Kiara is excited for what’s next – and proud of how far she’s come.
