Having a job and a home of her own are priorities for Maddy. With the help of her mum and Momentum Collective Support Coordinator Jane, Maddy is using her NDIS plan to become more independent every day. Maddy lives in her own apartment in Coffs Harbour and she looks after the garden with a little help from her mum. When she’s not at TAFE or gardening she is part of a local choir that performs at aged care facilities. “I really enjoy singing and I know the words to lots of songs. I think the people enjoy listening to our choir.” Maddy says she’s enjoying life and working with Jane to achieve her goals. “I do like my life. I want to get a job and move into a home of my own and have my own money,” she says. “I want to do some more exercise and get fit for when I play soccer next year. Jane is going to help me with this. I want to be in a team more than just play soccer. I just want to kick a ball and get out and meet people.”
