The greatest supports that I have are my friends and family. These people assist me when I am hurt, sad, confused, seeking answers, or just in need of conversation. My family includes my husband, mother, father, grandfather, daughter, aunts, and cousins. They are the primary people in my life and contribute greatly to the person that I am today. These supports are compassionate and just provide an always listening ear. If I had to go through my life without them, I really do not know what I would do. I need them and look to them for encouragement and they make life a lot easier. If I am sick, they cater to me, and even if I find a particular task too challenging they are there to coach me through it. My life is centered around my family and friends because they are all I have. Jobs may change, addresses change, and even personal interests change but one thing that is always consistent is family and good friends.
I currently do not have a challenge with parenting and caring for my daughter. In the event that I fell ill or was injured in an accident that placed me in an disabled condition, the use of supports would be tremendous. I would need my husband to assist me with physical aspects and help with providing for my daughter. Since he would still have to work, I would also require the support of my family. I would need them to assist me with getting to appointments, help me with my daughter when my husband is working, and also to assist me with emotional effects of the drastic change in my life. The benefits of my supports would be enormous and provide me with a great deal of comfort.
