About me
I am a 43-year-old woman. I have Prader-Willi Syndrome. I have some mobility difficulties.
I live with my brother. I need support with day-to-day life so I can stay as independent as possible.
I enjoy using my iPad, listening to music on my Amazon Alexa, doing jigsaws, going bowling, going to bingo, and sometimes making loom bands.
