Ryan’s Story

Michelle and Garth care for Ryan on a full time basis with the day to day duties. Ryan’s two brothers Jake and Morgan who live locally and help out in and around work commitments and his sister Cody also offers support when possible.

All family members, especially parents aspire to see their children succeed in life, which is Michelle and Garth’s motivation for their son Ryan. Ryan loves to laugh and have a beer with his dad and brothers. He also wants to drive a car but primarily he wants to work. This wouldn’t be unusual except Ryan has quite a few severe disabilities.

Ryan’s family intend on him having a good quality life and be seen in the community as a successful person enjoying life like his siblings. It was many months before Michelle and Garth finally came up with the idea of what Ryan could do to have this good life. They thought about all of the mundane jobs that many of us do, which Ryan is quite capable of doing. He is able to do the washing, grocery shopping, delivering mail, taking wheelie bins out, fetching lunch orders, washing tea towels and many more.

The seed to Ryan’s new working life was planted.

The development of Ryan’s business would not have been so simple without the help of the local people. Ryan’s business name is registered, has public liability insurance and an ABN. Without the initial support from Life Stream Mackay and their employees Ryan’s business would have been harder to progress

We look forward to providing Mackay and surrounding communities and businesses with great service & Ryan with a happy, purposeful and fulfilling life for years to come.
