Hello everyone! 😊

We talk a lot about our health, but you are so much more than your illness. Let’s take a moment to (re)introduce ourselves, without mentioning our diagnoses.

So tell us, how would you describe yourself in one word?

What's a fun fact about yourself?

What were you like as a child?

Let’s celebrate who we are beyond our conditions and get to know each other in a new way! 💬✨

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

I have been a carer to my husbabd for 9 years so my word would be a fighter I was born in scotland, so have a great sense of humour. The things that my grandson says makes me laugh. I stopped caring what anyone says about me & never get embarrassed. I was one of six children, so didnt have much growing up. Thats why I love to see my grandkids reading, doing arts & crafts. Having fun at the park ( weather permitting ) It is Scotland, Mostly it is precious to me when I get out fir a while as I cant leave my husband alone. Be grateful for the good things in life 🫠
