I wanted to start volunteering for the dcf after all the help, care and support that they have provided my family with. I wanted to give back and show my appreciation for all of the wonderful work they do. It ended up being a double blessing for me, my first week I felt like a different person…. the old me ! My confidence was coming back, I was meeting people and making friends, I was gaining helpful information from other parents even when I thought I knew it all. For 4 hrs a day I am not just mum or the parent of a special needs child, I am Natalie. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive of each other, I look forward to being there and miss it when I’m not. I only intend on doing 2 days a week, but if I’m free I’m there. It’s one of the happiest work environments and everyone gets stuck in and it’s so rewarding to see how your help or effort is helping others. I wanted to help the dcf and yet once again they have helped me. Natalie Fitzgerald
