We are first time parents to identical triplet girls. My partner returned to work post parental leave and our extended families are interstate. I really needed someone to talk to and a new face for the babies to interact with.

Life with triplets is BUSY and this just increases as they get older. I’m not sure we could have coped without Home-Start’s help. Our regular volunteer has been nothing short of amazing with our girls. She’s wonderful! I would absolutely recommend Home-Start to other families.

I don’t think my volunteer realises that she actually saved my life. I was feeling suicidal and I was looking at being admitted as an inpatient at a hospital. But just having her come and visit us changed my perspective of family, by providing me with a little support and treating me like I was normal.

Ann came today and was absolutely amazing like she always is…She walked into the house and I was almost having a meltdown. The baby was unwell and in hospital yesterday and my house was a disaster zone. She helped me get on top of things. I am so grateful, words can’t express how much having her come over has changed my life and helped me stay sane.

I know I’ve told you before but Ann truly is my guardian angel. I look forward to Mondays like they are Christmas Day. After having the girls in hospital on Thursday and my son sent home sick from day care, to have practical support from Ann is just amazing. I’d be a mess without her. Thank you again.
