🌿 Kia ora, Neighbours!

Thank you for the warm welcome—I’m so glad to be part of this community.

I wanted to share something that's very personal to me. After walking the journey as a full-time caregiver for a loved one, I came to realise just how much support family caregivers truly need—but often don’t have. From managing appointments, medications, and care routines, to liaising with doctors and health services, it can be a lot to handle alone.

That experience sparked the creation of S.O.A.R. — a digital care coordination tool designed to support caregivers and make communication across the health system easier, clearer, and more connected. The goal is simple: to help lighten the load for caregivers, improve continuity of care, and make a difference for everyone involved—family members, support workers, nurses, and even emergency services.

I’m currently in the early stages and reaching out to connect with others—especially caregivers (past or present), support workers, or anyone involved in the health sector. If you or someone you know has a story, an experience, or even just ideas for how things could be improved, I’d love to hear from you.

Every voice matters. This isn't just about creating an app—it’s about building something together that can bring lasting change to the way we care, communicate, and support one another in our health journeys.

If you'd like to chat or be involved in any way, please feel free to reach out. I'd be truly grateful.
