They have always wanted to work – now they are helping out at our Whitestone shop
Brothers Toby and Corey have only ever wanted to work and help others.
They both have Batten Disease – a rare incurable neurological illness.
For Toby and Corey, this has resulted in sight loss, and affected their speech and mobility.
When we heard about their passion for helping others, we invited them in to help sort some of the items donated at our Whitestone shop.
Lilly, their support worker through Aspire Living, explains what it means to Toby and Corey to spend time with us each week.
