Jacqueline is a mother of two and cares full-time for her youngest daughter, 12-year-old Molly who has many complex needs
Family Carers Ireland, the national charity supporting Ireland's family carers, has announced that this year's Netwatch Kildare Family Carer of the Year is Naas' Jacqueline Conlan.
Jacqueline is a mother of two and cares full-time for her youngest daughter, 12-year-old Molly, who has many complex needs including epilepsy, autism, type 1 diabetes, dyspraxia and urticaria.
Jacqueline has been by her daughter's side every step of the way, ensuring that her daughter can live as normal a life as possible while battling to secure vital supports and services including education.
Grainne Quinn, local Community Support Manager with Family Carers Ireland, highlighted the significance of the recognition: “Each year, the Netwatch Family Carer of the Year awards remind us of the vital role that family carers play in our society and shine a light on the incredible work that they do, which is too often unseen and unrecognised. As a society, we must do much more to ensure that family carers are properly recognised, valued, and supported to care safely for their loved ones at home.”
