André and Velrita are doing this podcast, to raise awareness of the realities of being a carer for a loved one and living with a rare misunderstood chronic condition. Who knew that becoming a mother for the first time, twenty-seven years ago would be one of the best experiences of her life? no matter how rewarding it was, she knew it would not be easy especially as a single mother. So, imagine one day, when your child is only four years and has a stroke. Without any warning, overnight both of their lives had changed forever. They were NOT prepared for this... but then WHO is? Velrita thought her life was over... but little did she know, it was just the beginning. Join André and Velrita as they share with you their personal experiences and journey, to self discovery. Listen to their amazing conversations on how this has impacted on their lives, each from their own perspectives. Their highs and lows, sometimes told in quite a comical way. They would love for you to get involved! just leave a voicemail on their website, with any questions you might have or even just a comment. So grab a tea, coffee or gin and tune in. See you then.
