Hey there! We know being a young carer can be tough, especially when someone you love has an immunodeficiency. You juggle a lot, and it can be overwhelming.
We want to help you find the resources and information you need to take care of yourself while caring for someone special.
Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone!

Did you know? You have rights as a young carer! This page from the NHS explains it all: (https://carers.org/downloads/young-carers-legal-rights-and-the-nhs.pdf)
Remember, taking care of yourself is important! Don’t be afraid to ask for help from friends, family, or professionals. You deserve a break!
