Supporting Disabled Individuals in Aging Crisis.

Every year on Mother’s Day, people express their heartfelt gratitude to hardworking mothers. However, mothers caring for children with disabilities often cannot enjoy their children's spontaneous expressions of gratitude due to their children's conditions. These mothers don't mind, though, as their greatest wish is simply for their children to be healthy and happy. But we have noticed this small regret.

On the eve of Mother's Day, a group of mothers of children with disabilities gathered together. Today, they set aside the various tasks of daily life to enjoy two hours just for themselves, celebrating Mother's Day with others who share similar backgrounds. Today, they are the protagonists, taking care of their own beauty. We organized a DIY hand cream and lip balm activity for these mothers. Throughout the session, they exhibited great curiosity and anticipation about the ingredients and benefits of their creations, akin to young girls learning to adorn themselves for the first time, asking the instructor many questions. Questions ranged from which essential oils are suitable for different skin types, the benefits of various essential oils, to whether expired essential oils at home could be reused. It turns out these mothers do care about self-care, but they often put their family's and children's needs before their own. After enduring the hardships of caregiving, they become so exhausted that they forget to love themselves. Upon reflection, this is true for both female and male caregivers—they all face the same challenges and hardships. Thank you all for your hard work.
