Dinner with Dimitri enjoying seafood - tbh the food was ok but service a bit average. We hang out about once a fortnight and talk about his life. We connected on @LikeFamilyAU after my mum passed away and I was his carer a few months in Dec 22/jan 23
We remained friends

Last year after my mamma passed away I decided to get on board @LikeFamilyAU over the Dec-Feb period when social #carers are away.
My goal was to find someone I could support with similar traits to my parents - I had 13 years experience in supporting my parents

Today is Not Alone Day! This day was created by Like Family as part of our mission to promote social inclusion and build strong, sustainable communities. Let's raise awareness about the impact of loneliness! YOU ARE NOT ALONE ❤️ #NotAloneDay#LikeFamily
Although life may be back to normal for some, many Australians still feel lonely. In fact, people who are Indigenous, elderly, live alone or have a disability are feeling lonelier than before the pandemic began.
#NotAloneDay#LikeFamily
Lockdowns may be over, but many Australians with a physical or mental disability are feeling lonelier than ever. Learn more about the "loneliness gap" and its impact here https://t.co/eUoBd3piWA
