Here is a brief from the website:
Hi my name is Daryl Wood. I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
I have been battling an undiagnosed disease since December 2009, my family and myself are very uncertain about my future as each of the many doctors I am referred to has an alternative diagnosis. These include, but are not limited to, Guillian Barre Syndrome, Whipple’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Transverse Myelitis, Lyme Disease and so on. After some pretty close calls on my life, extreme loss of lot of weight (46 kg), mal absorption, organs shutting down, and respiratory arrest, I am now a T 12 Paraplegic.
This occurred in mid 2011 and is where my disability story began. When my family and myself were having to come to terms with an acquired disability and I wanted stay at home in the community (not in respite or a nursing home), we then went about trying to find assistance from any source possible. Unfortunately, unless you know people that have a broad knowledge of the disability sector the world of disabilities can be very difficult to navigate and find assistance in. Unless you know what and who you are searching for there are no general websites or companies that are a “one stop shop” to assist with who to contact for equipment, modifications, personal care and funding assistance.
I built this website in order to help those that may be unfortunate enough to be in the same situation as me and I hope this will help others in the future.
Please let me know via the “contact us” form (see navigation tab), if I can add further links to Private, Public, Persons and / or Companies that maybe able to assist. I will endeavour to keep each link up to date however things change, so please bear with me and let me know if a link is broken.
I always keep telling myself two things, “There are people worse off than myself” and “live life to the fullest as you never know what is around the corner”.
