I look after a brother or sister

Tasha's Story

"My name is Tasha and i’m 11 years old, I care for my sister who has cancer.

Georgia ( my sister ) needs a lot of help in everyday life as after she had her surgery she had Posterior Fossa Syndrome. That meant she had to learn to add read walk talk... well learn to do everything again also she was in a sort of coma for about 3 months.

I help her play games, get her things take things somewhere or get her something I also help her have a bath and do her overnight ’feed’My mum does most of it but there are still a lot of things left for me to doIn the holidays ( and whilst I’m at school ) she has a lot of appointments every day, these include Check ups, Bloods, chemo, phisiotherapy, speech therapy amonst other things. When I am not caring I like to go cycling with my friends and go out."
