As I sit here with my beautiful mum, I know many of my best qualities are from her. Resilience, compassion for others, being hilarious (😆), my love of music, and strong sense of justice.
It wasn’t easy for her, having married at 16, first child at 17 and a mum of 4 at just 25. My mum battled through mental health issues most of her life, but she wanted to ensure we never wanted for anything. She and my dad both worked so hard to make their relationship work so we would grow up with them both together. But things weren’t stable. My childhood was a bit chaotic at times. I don’t want other people to think this is ok and something they need to soldier on through with 💔 and certainly not for the (dubious) benefit of their children.
My vision has always been to assist people affordably and effectively to navigate the family courts with minimal conflict, and putting their children first. I have helped hundreds of clients, alongside my other job and now caring for my mum. I have had a particular concern to help people from marginalised communities, people who are more vulnerable due to their background and people who are survivors of domestic abuse 💔 these people are not always able to avail of legal aid, which can be incredibly inhibitive and damaging.
Through my work, I have helped people by making legal advice and support financially accessible, supporting them through the process (emotionally as well as advising them), and I have worked tirelessly to ensure people felt safe / empowered to make post-separation arrangements with their ex for the benefit of their children.
I even expanded my remit to assist people with arranging legal representation for hearings but without the extortionate price tag flaunted by direct access barristers 😳
But my biggest and best achievement will always be that I helped my mum and dad to become friends again years after their acrimonious divorce ❤️ my dad has been an absolute rock for all of us, including my mum, helping whenever he can.
There are so many deserving people in this category. I’d love to win this award but I definitely already won with that 💕🥰 ⬆️
