**May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚**
Today, we shine a light on the silent battles many caregivers of children with disabilities face every single day.
A few weeks ago, a mother reached out to us in distress. Her 4-year-old son had experienced a meltdown and was unable to sleep the entire night. She stayed up with him trying to comfort and calm him while also caring for her 1-year-old baby.
By morning, she was completely exhausted… physically, emotionally, and mentally.
She had no support system around her. No one to step in. No moment to rest.
Her call to us wasn’t just about her child, it was a cry for help for *herself*.
This is the reality for many caregivers.
Behind every strong mother is often untold fatigue, anxiety, isolation, and overwhelming responsibility.
As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s remember:
💚 Caregivers need care too
💚 Support systems are not a luxury—they are a necessity
At Leroy Bones Foundation, we look forward to fully setting up our **Wellbeing Centre**, which will provide much-needed psychological support to caregivers—because their mental health matters just as much.
