Details:

I have multiple sclerosis, use a wheelchair full-time. I was living independently until I injured my back and my care needs increased. I need someone to support me through recovery and into a new normal.

Right now, I need help daily, for a couple of hours, possibly longer on some days. Ideally an hour in the morning to help start the day and an hour in the evening for bedtime preparation, but times are very flexible and other options would work too.

I maintain a good degree of independence. I can use the commode in my bedroom independently. I can eat independently, but I need someone to prepare my meals, and feed my cat.

I live in Leith, on a quiet friendly street. I’m a non-smoker and a vegan. I write poetry and fiction
