By Children Are Us Foundation | Cheer
The Lin family of three all live with physical and cognitive disabilities. Both children developed symptoms such as auditory and visual hallucinations during high school and were subsequently diagnosed with schizophrenia. Due to the impact of their conditions, neither child was able to complete their education or enter the workforce. Confined to home for extended periods, they lacked life goals and direction, placing a heavy caregiving burden on the family.
During the service process, it was discovered that the eldest daughter had not yet applied for relevant social welfare subsidies. Assistance was immediately provided to apply for the living allowance for individuals with disabilities, thereby alleviating the family’s financial strain. Furthermore, to ensure the eldest daughter could return to a comfortable and reassuring living environment after discharge, multiple discussions were held with Mrs. Lin to explain how the children's conditions and home environment impact emotional stability, helping the mother understand her children's inner anxiety and stress.
Through persistent efforts, Mrs. Lin finally became willing to accept the recommendations. A professional cleaning service was matched to enter the home for a thorough clean-up, clearing away large accumulations of debris and instantly restoring the living space to a clean and bright condition. Additionally, through the integrated intervention of medical, long-term care, community rehabilitation, and welfare resources, the family gradually established a support network, began re-engaging with the community, and learned to live more independently. From initial hands-on support and assistance, the case manager transitioned to providing steady care and follow-up, accompanying the family step-by-step as they integrated back into community life.
Every instance of companionship, continuous listening, and resource connection can become a vital catalyst for transforming a life... Moving forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to care, accompanying more families in rediscovering hope and strength in their lives.
