Johanna is a young girl with autism and mild intellectual disability who will start her studies at the Dürer Street Member Institute for the Blind in Ajtos from September. At school, she will study fine arts, weaving and ceramics - activities that not only bring her joy but also help her develop mentally and physically.
Johanna's condition was revealed when she was two years old. From that moment on, her mother did everything she could to help her daughter develop and make the most of her life. After many years of early development, they worked hard to get Johanna to the point where she was able to socialise with other children in a small community.
He then went to the Csalogány Kindergarten in District 3, and then to the Szellő Utcai Elementary School, which were all special, specialised, ECEC institutions. But the road has not got any easier since then.
Johanna still needs constant supervision and care and cannot be left alone. Her mother takes her to school every day and picks her up in the afternoon. They travel by public transport and public transport every day, which is physically and mentally very demanding for them.
The family lives in a municipal flat in Békásmegyer. Johanna's mother raises her child alone and, as her daughter's condition prevents her from working, they currently support themselves and their home from the childcare allowance (GYOD/GYID).
Any help is a huge support to them - be it financial support, donations or simple human attention.
