Participant Testimonials & Stories
Tim's Story
Including You has been supporting Tim for the past few years. During this time, Tim faced the challenge of being bedridden, unable to stand or walk, having spent eight months confined to his bed. One evening, while watching 60 Minutes with his wife Nikki, they came across a segment on immersive therapy. Inspired by the possibilities, Tim wasted no time in contacting Tim’s Support Coordinator Jodie the next morning.
After a thorough discussion, Jodie swiftly organized a trial session for Tim at Watermark in Greensborough. Witnessing Tim's first session at the pool was a stirring experience for Jodie - seeing Tim lifted into the water, his face lit up with a broad smile as he managed to take a few tentative steps. Since then, attending weekly sessions has brought about a remarkable transformation in Tim. His confidence in walking has soared, and he's even making progress with a walking frame outside of the pool.
Tim's journey is a testament to his perseverance and the unwavering support of his team. Jodie recently facilitated a week-long holiday for Tim and Nikki in sunny Queensland, a testament to the strides Tim has made. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and collaboration of the incredible team supporting Tim.
