🌟 Support Sally and Maisie in their Walk for Epilepsy! 🌟

Sally and Maisie are beloved members of the North East Coordination family, and we’re so proud to stand beside them on their journey. 💜

Maisie has faced incredible challenges since she was just 12 weeks old, battling seizures every day. But with the love and dedication of her amazing mum, Sally, she continues to defy the odds — even walking when doctors once said she might never be able to. 👣

Please help support their mission to raise funds and awareness for epilepsy. Every step, every donation, and every share makes a difference. 💪

I'm stepping it up this October to show my support for the 1 in 25 Australians diagnosed with epilepsy 👟💜

🌈 Supporting Children with Disabilities — One Small Step at a Time 💕

Every child deserves to be seen for who they are — not just for what they can do. Children with disabilities bring unique strengths, perspectives, and an incredible capacity for joy. All they need is the right kind of support, patience, and understanding to help them shine. 🌟

We walk alongside families to create safe, inclusive spaces where children can explore, grow, and feel proud of their progress — no matter how big or small. From learning life skills to building friendships, every moment of connection matters.

💬 A gentle reminder:
Progress doesn’t always look the same for every child. Sometimes, success is a smile, a word, or a moment of calm. Celebrate those moments — they’re the building blocks of confidence and growth. 💖

✨ Tip for today: Take a few minutes each day to notice and praise your child’s small victories. Whether it’s trying something new, using kind words, or showing bravery in their own way — your encouragement helps them believe in themselves. 🌻

Together, let’s keep creating a world where every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated — just as they are.

💙 A Heartfelt NEC Update 💙

A few months ago, Sam made the very difficult decision to step back from Support Coordination. This was not easy, as every participant and family has always been at the heart of what we do. During this time, Sam worked hard to connect with coordinators, even arranging meet-and-greets so families could feel supported and cared for through the transition.

This decision came during a challenging time, with Sam managing her own health while also carrying more responsibilities as Director of NEC. Through it all, her focus has never wavered — making sure our NEC families were looked after. 💙

In the middle of this journey, Sam met Amanda — a Support Coordinator joining us straight from the NDIS, bringing with her not only a world of knowledge and experience, but also a genuine heart for the people she supports. Amanda’s compassion and dedication mean that Support Coordination will continue at NEC. Families who wished to stay with us will remain supported, and Amanda also has the capacity to welcome new participants into our community.

We cannot thank our NEC family enough for your patience, trust, and kindness through this season of change. Your understanding and love have carried us, and we are so excited for this new chapter. With Amanda on the team, and with Sam still guiding NEC as Director, we know the future holds even more opportunities to grow together.

From our hearts to yours — thank you for being part of the NEC family. You are the reason we do what we do, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you. 💫

— With gratitude and love,
The NEC Team
