Hi there,
May I introduce myself?
I am Catherine. I am a 32 year old Australian woman on the Disability Support Pension. My disability is classified as severe to extreme (1 hour JCA). It is a disability which has caused me enormous suffering, indescribable pain, harrowing torment and anguish, and I feel as if my body, mind and soul has been dragged through a trillion torturous hells.
I live in the Gold Coast area. Although my disability prevents me from having any participation in the Australian workforce, I sometimes manage to do some sporadic voluntary work for charities, maybe just an hour or two here and there. My favourite charity is a charity that helps and assists refugees who have been granted asylum in Australia, and who have found a new home in the Gold Coast area.
Doing this voluntary charity work has given me an opportunity to hear some of the life stories of these refugees. Some of them have described some horrifying experiences of oppression, abuse, imprisonment, and torture that they suffered at the hands of cruel and tyrannical governments overseas. Because of the enormous pain and suffering that I have experienced because of my disability, I am able to relate to their terrible sufferings, and provide some measure of understanding and empathy.
I am glad that I have found this site, because many of the topics are of great interest to me.
Nice to meet you
